And the EU has forced us to answer that goddamn "do you accept cookies?" question on every frigging website. How many people just click "accept all" to get on with things?
The EU has forced them to give us the option. Previously, they'd do all of that shit without telling you.
Previously I just opted out of all cookies as a browser setting.
ok to be honest i'd rather have the choice to accept or decline it and waste a couple seconds then having all of that enabled by default with no way to reject them
I have the ghosrtery extension on Firefox, I have it set to auto reject all tracking cookies, and reject all third party "legitimate interest" cookies. I've heard there's other extensions that do the same, and maybe better, but I already have it set the way I want.
THAT IS A BIG FAT LIE! The EU did not force any such thing. The EU simply said that people's data cannot be used without consent. This is the website asking for consent.
Website developers have a perfectly valid choice not to collect any data. They chose their profits above your privacy.
I have a website and I don't have a popup asking for consent, because I don't need to, because I don't collect any data.
Cookie Auto-Delete helps with that.
There's cookie lists in uBlock Origin. Just enable them.
