The consent-o-matic add on allows you to autofil the cookie response and when it doesn’t work you can report it. The ad on is also funded by the EU somehow, can’t remember exactly how. If the add on doesn’t work it means their site is not asking the question correctly.

Which is illegal under GDPR btw. See instagram being sued for „pay or get tracked“ on their app.

thanks, changed it.

I personally use the community version as well because I don’t trust avast but is there any evidence they are actually doing this?

Here you go

In most cases, it just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it’s needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what’s easier to do). It doesn’t delete cookies.

You’re sort of right. Cookie deletion should be available in browser settings right?

Ghostery will automatically decline all tracking pop ups, block cookies, website trackers, etc.

I’ve been using it for a while and love it.

Holy fuck, that is so disgusting. I was gonna ask why that’s even legal but I’ve learned not to ask such stupid, logical questions. Thanks for the tip!

thanks, changed it.

I used to use Ghostery but removed it and now just use these two filters in uBlock. They’re not perfect but certainly better than not using them at all.

Also interesting; I didn’t realise I hadn’t turned those on. thanks!
