The real MVPs are websites not needing a cookie banner because they only use required cookies for which you dont need a banner.

Just FYI - it's mandatory to have a button like that next to the 'Accept all'.

Every site that doesn't do it should be reported.

Or just sites that don't need a consent popup because they don't sell your shit.

The real MVPs are website not having cookies altogether

NEVER click decline all. There are loopholes built in that still grant access to "legitimate interest" cookies, which are recognized differently from "consent cookies." If you click reject all, it still allows collection of certain personal info through cookies labeled legitimate interest. Which is entirely up to advertisers to categorize.

As annoying as it is, always open up options and manually uncheck cookies.

I highly recommend the Firefox extension “I still don’t care about cookies” as a great successor to the original

My favorite banner is from geizhals.de that only says "We recognize you set "Do not track" and we respect that."

Edit: autocorrect corrected

In Firefox 120+ about:config -> cookiebanners.service.mode 2 (from 0)

No addons required.

Istilldontcareaboutcookies + cookieautodelete - you da real mvp

✅ Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed

I think they will break laws (in countries with basic respect for human right) if they don't have that option.

Some US news websites still geoblock European visitors rather than fix their site to not track the ever loving fuck out of visitors who say no. So imagine what they're doing to their domestic visitors.

But does it really decline all, or are you agreeing to their "legitimate interest" of stealing your data?

Data collection is theft, change my mind.

See our legitimate partners (1724)...

I don't want my data sent to 1724 partners just because i am curious to see what that click bait of a title really meant

how certain are you that this will truly block them all? Many of these things may have a "Legitimate interest" thing going on, and I do not trust those prompts to object to that by pressing "reject all"

Should be the default option

uBlock origin on Firefox blocks almost all tracking sites. You can enable cookies or disable them, it doesn't matter because they aren't sent anywhere. Unless the site has some homebrew tracking solution.

I hope that includes what other sites would call "strictly necessary". No thanks, if your site won't work without, then I don't need to visit.

Ghostery plugin gang rise up!

Vivaldi has setting to block these.
