OK, what the actual fuck?
I’m not signed in and, to the best of my knowledge, I don’t even have a Guardian account. And this is within the web view in Mona.

Mona app
in reply to Malcontent Creator • • •@geist I think that's the case. I just opened a Guardian webpage, and the upper right corner shows “Sign in” instead of “My account.” In-app Safari view's data is separated from the main Safari app since iOS 12.
@aral My guess is that you signed in to Guardian a long time ago, and the sign-in info has already expired, so when you proceed to something like making a payment, you were asked to sign in again.

Did you perhaps perform a single login for a Google mailbox or something on the same device?
I experienced this with having done OAuth for opening a Google mailbox in Thunderbird. Then suddenly Maps starting asking if I was really that Google account when I just opened an anonymous web interface in Firefox (or so I thought).
Those OAuth flows are not done in a throw away web view, so they can store info for later. i had to clean out the entire Firefox profile.

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •And you didn't make a Guardian account earlier outside Mona? Unfortunately apps share almost all browser state with each other on mobile.

That does not seem likely. Does it also happen if you are on a VPN or public wifi?
Maybe some service connected to a advertisement id of your device or some data deal with the mobile service.

in reply to Bob Corbin • • •@Shadowfetch This is what I’m thinking. Or they’re using a dataset they bought that correlates either the fingerprint or my IP with my name, etc.
Either way, gross violation of GDPR.

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •I stopped reading #TheGuardian sadly some time ago, as the only way to continue was to consent with sharing with 139 'partners' in the cookie dialog, and I am not up for buying a subscription and go "Ad-lite" 🤢 (lack the money anyway).
Nice #newspaper selling people's news browsing habits to commercial parties. Well, newspapers got it tough, but still.
