How to use this demo

  1. Browse the articles below and open a few of them.
  2. You will hit the paywall when you open your third article.
  3. Try incognito mode or clear your cookies to get past the paywall and read more articles.
  4. You can reset this scenario with the Restart button at the top right.
Note

Clearing cookies and opening a private window within a few minutes gives one visitor several new cookies in quick succession. ShieldLabs reads that as automation, so for the next few minutes the demo refuses the request with a browser automation message.
