When you land on any medium blog you see: To make Medium work, we log user data. By using Medium, you agree to our Privacy Policy, including cookie policy. (e.g. https://ift.tt/8ArDSlR) Without ability to accept or reject, just a close button. In fact I do not agree with their privacy policy, but by that time I am already tracked. In their privacy policy you see: We share personal information with vendors, service providers, and consultants that need access to personal information in order to perform services for us, such as companies that assist us with web hosting, storage, and other infrastructure, analytics, payment processing, fraud prevention and security, customer service, communications, and marketing. (https://ift.tt/sJ4LOfe) It is not trivial to report them to my local data protection agency, otherwise I would've done it already. But this is just pathetic if this is leagl, NoScript seem to be the only way forward.
