Consent-O-Matic is a browser extension that auto-responds to all the #GDPR and similar consent popups with optimal user preferences. Unlike the extension "I don't care about cookies" which just accepts all cookies, Consent-O-Matic clicks the prompts on your behalf to reject most of the cookies. You can also choose what to accept/reject in the preferences. Available for Firefox, Chrome and others. I've been using this on Firefox :firefox: for quite sometime now and it works great! Their Github page has links to official extension stores: https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic#introduction #AMO link: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/consent-o-matic/ #privacy #webextensions #addons #addon #extension #chrome #firefox #safari

    @dsoft@techhub.social Recent Ghostery does a similar thing these days as well, BTW. It's really gratifying to visit a site and see the cookie settings dialog pop up and everything get set to "no" all by itself.

    @dsoft@techhub.social Hmm, I think I will have to add this to my list of extensions. Anything that makes dealing with annoying cookie notices easier would be great.

    @dsoft@techhub.social thank you for sharing. Coincidentally I was recently wondering why cookie consent preferences can't be set up as standardised preferences within all browsers, and then websites made to silently pick up preferences automatically. I suppose it would be hard to standardise and roll out, so this is a fantastic work-around.

    @dsoft@techhub.social Nice! I was looking for something like that yesterday. The answer is always “no”, and I really wish the law required a standardized “opt in”, with browsers having an easy way to auto decline all requests (more like iOS).

  • @dsoft@techhub.social Please instead actively block tracking if you want to auto opt-out. Extensions like this seem like a good idea and they *do* signal to the site operator that you are making an informed opt-out decision. But... *vanishingly few* websites actually respect your opt-out choice. It's not malicious, they simply do not know how to stop your data being sent to the various 3rd-parties involved. It's often tricky to achieve. Source: Am reasonably expert in implementing this.

    @dsoft@techhub.social Sounds useful. I'll give it a go. Reinventing the wheel with each new website is extremely irritating, especially when they break things down into different kinds of cookies, instead of a blanket 'Reject All'.
