That's been happening for a long while, now. Years ago, you could get different prices on Amazon if you went with a private browsing session. Granted, the barrage of trackers online makes this a lot easier to dial in for corporations.

Lmg, the algorithm guesses your individual willingness to pay and tailors the proce accordingly? I wonder if that's legal under existinf legislation

Anything is legal if you don't get in trouble for it. (This opinion is based on recent observations)

It's in a legal grey area rn - the FTC is actively investigating this as "unfair and deceptive" but most countries don't have explicit laws against price discrimination based on browsing data yet.
