Comment on ublock Origin can get rid of Cookie Banners
lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 4 weeks agoWebsite operators don’t want to have to display cookie banners and users don’t want to see them. So what are we doing?
Like the other comment, I also disagree with that. Most websites show them to make it hard to decline the tracking.
But I once saw a website (I think, it was the German idealo.de) which checked for the (now deprecated) "Do Not Track" HTTP header. If it was there, it then did not show the banner. I liked that solution.

It’d be nice if that header was default for all users, unfortunately it can (and has, probably) end up being just another data point for uniquely identifying you.
Probably will never be default since 99% people use Chrome, and we know who owns that…
Extensions seem the only way without making your traffic mote unique.
