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?

While the disposable cards might not always work, you can always create a regular virtual card and delete/freeze it afterwards. Not sure if there are any limits tho

    You can also delete the payment token that was issued to that website.

    My bank lists the currently valid recurrent tokens explicitly next to each card, and lets me revoke them individually (but I can also re-add a card to the merchant if I want to).

    In the Revolut app it's a bit wierder, you have to go to a card, tap on a past payment, and then you get a "block future payments" button that prevents that merchant from ever using that card, but there's also a "subscription payment" toggle that only revokes the recurrent token for that particular payment.

    The "block future payments" feature is severely limited on the free Revolut accounts, you can only do 3 blocks per month and can only have 5 total overall active. So you probably want to turn off the subscription toggle instead.
