  Ublock Origin has that option!

    Where?

      Settings, filter list, cookie notices

  github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic This can do it for you on most sites in most browsers.

    That’s unnecessary. Not clicking anything is legally identical to opting out. So just install uBO and add the cookie list filter and block those annoying banners entirely.

      You’re not wrong, but in my experience those lists cause some sites to not work anymore, the whole site will stay dark waiting for the cookie pop-up for example, or you can’t scroll. I still use uBO to block ads but Consent-O-Matic gives me a better experience on those sites.

        Did you try to dismiss then manually or use the filter list?

    I have it, and it does help, but it seems more often than not I still get a pop up for cookies.

      You can report websites that it failed to act upon in the extension window

  Well, it could have been but just like robot.txt everyone ignored the Do-not-track Header in HTTP requests.

    That’s why I leave this off. Ironically the “Do Not Track” signal is used to more effectively track you.

      Similarly, the federal Do Not Call list, used to stop domestic spammers from calling you, is used by international spammers as a source of known active phone numbers to call. Because you need to actively add yourself to the list, so it’s a pretty solid list of active phone numbers. And the list is only enforced domestically, so all of the callers from overseas know they’ll never be prosecuted for using it.

        That mistake I did make. God knows no one pays attention to this list, domestic or abroad. I talked to an attorney and he said they have to call you several times for it to be a violation.
