Is there something similar to privacy.com in Europe so I don’t have to enter my credit card information everywhere? Or another way to buy stuff online privately on many different stores and websites?

Do people in europe use credit cards? I remember hearing it wasn't popular as much as the US. Isn't debit more common?

No. It’s not as popular. In Germany most have a giro-card, but credit cards are becoming more popular. Many still prefer cash though.

In Germany most have a girl-card

I assume autocorrect screwed you?

For anyone else reading this: no, there is no such thing as girl-cards.

Yes thanks. I meant giro-card.
