Love the consent-o-matic extension on Firefox. I’ve got it set up to auto reject unnecessary cookies when possible, really cuts down on the annoying pop ups.
I always set this option in Firefox to delete all cookies on exit. It makes tracking cookies worthless you just constantly need to sign into sites all the time but I don’t care.
In my Firefox setup, I do the same, but use the Containers ext. and putting the websites I always want to stay logged in to into the exceptions in Firefox settings so that I can stay logged into YouTube, Nexus, etc.!
In firefox you can choose custom blocking, and there select “All cookies”. It’s pretty radical though as it makes browser never send the cookie header and removes document.cookie object entirely
Or you can just block all third party cookies in your browser’s settings, then remove the popup with Ublock Origin. You don’t need to consent to cookies when they can’t even get to your machine to begin with!
Ive seen many website cookie notifications that say if you don’t accept or reject, it will be considered as accepting. I don’t know how legal that is but ive seen it.
Yes but like I said, you can just block 3rd party cookies in your browser’s settings. Therefore accepting/rejecting doesn’t matter, because the cookies can’t get stored on your machine regardless of what option you pick/ignore. Blocking third party cookies is the same as pressing “reject all”.
Yup. And for the rest , I’ve trained my muscle memory to click whichever button doesn’t say ‘accept’, so I rejecting the dialog doesn’t even require any conscious thought for me

The necessary ones are bullshit too but i cant figure out how to block those
You can use an extension Cookie AutoDelete.
Mind that you need to allow cookies for pages where you want to stay logged in.

My browser is open the entire time my computer is on. I want my cookies deleted much more often than that
Hello, fellow cookie clearer!

Ublock origin has a built in cookie popup blocker, it’s disabled by default though
