You’ll no longer have to jump through hoops and over hurdles to cancel any of your subscriptions — as long as you’re living in California.
Keeping track of subscriptions can be frustrating and costly. US adults spend an average of $91 on subscription services each month, a CNET survey found, and nearly half have signed up for a free trial of a paid subscription and then forgotten to cancel it.
