The consent-o-matic add on allows you to autofil the cookie response and when it doesn’t work you can report it. The ad on is also funded by the EU somehow, can’t remember exactly how. If the add on doesn’t work it means their site is not asking the question correctly.
I used to use Ghostery but removed it and now just use these two filters in uBlock. They’re not perfect but certainly better than not using them at all.
Except on news websites that only give you the choice between “subscribe for X€” and “read for free (accept all)”. So annoying. Still no idea why that’s legal.
Because newspapers are not forced to give out their news for free. But they have to give you an alternative to selling your data; taking money from you in this case.
That’s not at all legal under GDPR. Nor is having deny all be harder than accept. As is tradition however companies don’t give half a shit until fines start happening.
In europe we have a “reject all” button for cookies and it’s fantastic

Be fair, it’s not always working but more often then not IMO.
I’d love somewhere to reporh those assholish designed (so illegal in the EU) ones, like the French CNIL or something?

We also have this glorious extension which just fucks them all off:

Use I STILL don’t care about cookies. That one is owned by Avast nowadays and accepts all cookies which is clearly not what people want.
thanks, changed it.
Or you can enable “Annoyances” filters in uBlock Origin for the same effect

Also interesting; I didn’t realise I hadn’t turned those on. thanks!
There seems to be a lot of options. Which ones do I pick? :/
Just turn it all on until something breaks!
I can’t tell: are you joking or serious?
Serious ;)
To my understanding, by using this you accept (all) the cookies… I would like a extension that tries to minimize cookie exposure!

Ghostery will automatically decline all tracking pop ups, block cookies, website trackers, etc.
I’ve been using it for a while and love it.

Which is illegal under GDPR btw. See instagram being sued for „pay or get tracked“ on their app.

Since I started using a VPN, I’ve started seeing that option more. Even still, lots of sites aren’t compliant.
