CNIL imposes a financial penalty of 50M euros against Google

That's bullshit. Explaining what you get and what you give is not bad UX and can be integrated nicely into almost any user path.

UX is not about smoothness of the first 5 min of using a product. Long term counts. Let's ask how people feel about facebook these days ? They had a perfect blindfloded way to inboard you, do you still think that is good UX ?

I don’t want a 5 minute onboarding process to read a news article.

I wouldn't choose to give up any personal information to read a news article.

> Long term counts.

Only if you keep using the same website again and again and do not delete cookies.

Is it your goal to reduce number of websites that users visit?

I'm sorry you're right, I only used google 2 times last year.. Name 1 internet website that don't care about retention. People usually don't delete cookies at all, and it could be a good pre-signup tool. And if a website that I'd only use once vacuumed all my personal data, I'd really question their ethics
