As much as I feel I should donate to #TheGuardian, I see something like the following, and it's just too much for me:
"we place a pixel on our web pages that allows Facebook to place cookies on web browsers. When a Guardian reader who uses Facebook returns to Facebook, Facebook can identify them".
Any recommendations for quality #news sites that don't go to such lengths?

#TheIntercept doesn't use those technologies, but I'm pretty sure there are very few which respect privacy. At least the Guardian is up front about it.
I can recommend uMatrix Firefox add-on to prevent that unwanted tracing.

Yes, the Guardian is at least very transparent. Unfortunately #TheIntercept tries to load #GoogleAnalytics, according to my #uBlockOrigin add-on. I'd expect better from them... It's not like there aren't more privacy-respecting alternatives available for #analytics.

Oh wow, that's indeed quite disappointing :-/
