Despite the increasing prevalence of digital transactions, a significant portion of the Czech population remains hesitant to adopt QR code payments. A recent survey reveals that almost half of Czechs have yet to utilize QR codes for financial transactions, suggesting a gap in adoption despite the technology's availability.
The online publication iDNES.cz is presenting users with distinct choices regarding content access. One option is iDNES Premium, a subscription service costing 199 Czech koruna per month, which offers an ad-free experience across iDNES.cz, Lidovky.cz, Expres.cz, and Antiyoutuber.cz, along with digital access to newspapers and magazines.
Alternatively, users can opt for continued access to content without a subscription fee by consenting to targeted advertising. This involves agreeing to the use of cookies and other tracking technologies to personalize ads based on browsing habits and interests. MAFRA, a.s., along with 125 advertising partners, will utilize this data to display relevant advertisements. Users retain the ability to withdraw their consent for targeted advertising at any time, though doing so will prompt them to switch to the ad-free Premium service.
