Comment on Thank the EU there’s a prominent “Reject” button nowadays

Even if there’s a reject button, still freaking annoying when you start reading and after two seconds you get interrupted by the prompt.
It used to be just the newsletter prompt, the notifications prompt, etc. Don’t need an additional thing by law. 😑 Let’s hope it goes away soon with the current developments.

Those accept all the cookies.
Better to use Consent-o-Matic, which automatically rejects all unnecessary cookies.

“In most cases, the add-on 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.”

Hiding the popup should be the same as clicking reject, assuming the website is legal

Yep, this is the one I have. 👌💪 It’s very good.

I’ve been using susperagent on Firefox but wasn’t sure about its security, I’m new to the Firefox world.
Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Firefox plus superagent. Superagent is an extention that automatically applies your cookie setting to those prompts and you don’t see them. I now reject all and haven’t seen a pop up since installing. I can’t vouch for its security though. I am pretty new to Firefox, but it seems to work.

I have consent-o-matic, works great on both desktop and mobile. 👍

You still don’t need it if you don’t spy on your users. Cookie banners are not required. Asking for consent before collecting data that goes beyond the necessary minimum is required.

Indeed, websites like Wikipedia and Lemmy don’t ask for cookies because they don’t want to invade your privacy.
And they are completely in line with the EU law.

That’s what I meant. I thought that was clear from the context. 😅 My bad.
