This add-on is built and maintained by workers at Aarhus University in Denmark. We are privacy researchers that got tired of seeing how companies violate the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Because the organisations that enforce the GDPR do not have enough resources, we built this add-on to help them out.
Nice!
Been using this a couple of weeks and it is great. Looking forward to more add-ons like this coming to Firefox for Android.
Consent-o-matic automatically goes through the cookie banner and makes sure everything is disabled instead of simply blocking the banner
Strongly recommend this one. It’s also available for chromium, Safari, and iOS
@furzegulo consent-o-matic, made by @midasnouwens https://consentomatic.au.dk. the idontcareaboutcookies one doesn’t do what you want as it auto accepts them or blocks the notice, while consent-o-matic sends a legally binding reject signal.
Remember to use Firefox containers, then you can accept all the cookies you want and they will never see outside of the container (you have to put the website in a container though)
It's pretty laborious to do this for casual browsing though. The websites I visit regularly where it'd be worth configuring this aren't the ones with cookies I'm worried about.
Why don't you just clear them?
