UK gdpr not withstanding, the question asked was: where in Europe. UK remains a part of Europe post brexit.

The provisions of the EU GDPR have been incorporated directly into UK law as the UK GDPR. It's ok to not know this stuff but it only takes like 10 seconds to google before you comment about something you don't know.

AFAIK it does not exist in Europe, but I meant that these conditions in the EU would not be tolerated. Maybe because of this there isn't a Walmart in the EU, there are a lot of Malls from other companies and none of these use this practices in their restaurants, mostly with free WiFi for their visitors. Offering free WiFi is already enough of a benefit for them, because it attracts customers, they do not need to intrude on their privacy with an obvious attempt to spam them and make money with their data.
