Description

Cookie pop-ups are designed to be confusing and make you 'agree' to be tracked. This add-on automatically answers consent pop-ups for you, so you can't be manipulated. Set your preferences once, and let the technology do the rest!

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.

We looked at 680 pop-ups and combined their data processing purposes into 5 categories that you can toggle on or off. Sometimes our categories don't perfectly match those on the website, so then we will choose the more privacy preserving option.

- Fix a bug causing some popups not to be properly registered
- Improve debugging log by splitting it into two flags instead of one in the development tab

Works as advertised

I just tried this on one of those sites that's pure hot garbage as soon as you load it. And this app worked perfectly. Set it to not even display the annoying pop-up and enjoy

An important extension that barely works

This is such an important extension considering the endless cookie pop-ups on the internet are moronic, insulting, and annoying beyond belief. But this extension barely does anything to address the problem. It hardly ever performs its purported function, so now you have to deal with the cookie pop-ups AND ALSO alert the developers that the extension failed yet again. It could be great if only it worked.

Small improvement

This app reduces some of the cookies but misses obvious websites like Truth Social. I see fewer pop ups but am more annoyed by the ones I do see.
