In europe we have a "reject all" button for cookies and it's fantastic

    Be fair, it's not always working but more often then not IMO.

    I'd love somewhere to reporh those assholish designed (so illegal in the EU) ones, like the French CNIL or something?

    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.

    Except on news websites that only give you the choice between "subscribe for X€" and "read for free (accept all)". So annoying. Still no idea why that's legal.

    Use I STILL don't care about cookies. That one is owned by Avast nowadays and accepts all cookies which is clearly not what people want.

    To my understanding, by using this you accept (all) the cookies... I would like a extension that tries to minimize cookie exposure!

    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?

    IIRC that add-on was bought by Avast and the new add-on is 'I still don't care about cookies'

    Or you can enable "Annoyances" filters in uBlock Origin for the same effect

    There seems to be a lot of options. Which ones do I pick? :/
