What are the options for increased privacy in how you pay for things where you live?

Cash is the obvious answer, but what about buying stuff online?

UK here. Thinking of ditching cards/contactless for good old cash. No idea about online payments - not doing anything illegal so might persevere with cards for now. Zero experience with crypto.

      I use it to put transaction dollar limits on my subscriptions, satellite radio in particular, so they can’t jack up my rates automatically.

      I don’t put much stock in privacy.com being truly private, but it does break the data chain of using the same card for everything. I wish my credit union offered virtual cards.
