      I wish there was an option to clear third-party cookies automatically

      under settings,privacy and security, under cookies and site data (just above the “Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox” box) there’s “manage exceptions” that will exclude your favorites from getting erased every time.

      I just press ctrl+i and add the website as an exception :P

      The firefox extension “forget me not” allows you to fully control which cookies are retained, which are deleted, and how/when. It’s easy to customize individual sites on the fly. And it’s open source!

      Pretty sure there is an “Allow” exception that you can use to keep cookies for the sites you want.

      (I think you) click on the shield in the URL bar, and a small window comes, which should have a small toggle that says “Keep cookies and site data”.

    Cookie autodelete has whitelists, optionally different per container.

• flint@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  In my experience uBlock origin doesn’t really get rid of cookie consent banners/dark patterns. Damn good at bonking ads though.

    are you sure you didn’t forget to install the filter list? it’s not on by default

    source
  • markz@suppo.fi ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Did you enable everything in there settings? Default is just ad block I think

    source

    • dawg@lm.kluge.cafe ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      having too many filters slows down pages significantly, you should keep only those you actually need

      source
  • nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    In the filter lists, there are three lists named annoyances. Just enable one of them, and these banners will be gone.

    source

    • flint@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Aah, you are right. Lazy me actually never looked at those. Now I did and it seems to work just fine enabling the Annoyances > Cookie Banners.

    Also getting rid of cookie banners doesn’t mean the site won’t track with third party cookies. The cookies are ON by default and until you tell them to turn it OFF, they keep the cookies on.

    source

    • flint@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      That’s a good point. However in the EU it should be the opposite - otherwise the site is violating GDPR.

      Sometimes I have a feeling sites do whatever they want anyway regardless of bow many dark patterns I click through to find the “no” and “off” buttons because there are no real repercussions. Just like the “do not track” request and “robots.txt” are essentially useless.

• BeUnique@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  That shit should be illegal. Accept all / reject all. That’s it. If somebody is disabling cookies, literally nobody in the entire world wants any of them! “Oh yeah, please, only keep my location data but not the data about my purchase decisions”…

  source

  • WrathEnchanter@europe.pub ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I have good news for you: In the EU (which forced everyone to have the cookie-accept-banners in the first place) it IS illegal.

    source

    • rmuk@feddit.uk ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      The EU didn’t force anyone to have the cookie banners. If the site only uses nessecary cookies - the kind you can’t turn off in the prompt - there doesn’t need to any prompts because that’s perfectly fine. The intrusive, obnoxious and deliberate confusing popups are from data harvesters throwing a tantrum because they can’t stalk you every waking second any more, and complying in the most malicious and disrespectful way they can.

      Cookie banners are nothing to do with the EU and everything to do with tech-bros.

      It was pretty crazy taking my phone from the United States to the EU and seeing all of the notifications of how my data is being shared by “free” apps! It just goes to show that the saying “if the product is free, you’re the product” is 100% true!

  Consent-o-matic is a better system, it actually inputs what you want it to answer for cookie banners

  source

  • markz@suppo.fi ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I don’t really care if the box gets an answer or not

    source

    • ieGod@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Amen. If the endpoint serves up the content I’m looking for our interaction is over. The site doesn’t need a response.

      source
• Damarus@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Unfortunately some pages have started blocking scrolling when the cookie banner is not closed properly. That can also be fixed with uBlock of course, but I encounter that specific problem quite often.

  source

  • Tonava@sopuli.xyz ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Some sites do those blocks very haphazardly and you can get past just removing couple html-lines, they don’t really care since most people won’t bother to look (or don’t know you can do it). At minimum it might just be “overflow: hidden” added on the top somewhere lmao. It’s a pain to do but if it’s something specific you need only once, might be worth to check

  I want websites to all have a button that says “yeah you can sell my personal data but the website contractually agrees to give me half”

  source
• kalpol@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  I still run umatrix in Firefox snd the level of calling out that even simple pages do is shocking. And likely all those called sites even for fonts are collecting something about you.

• Zink@programming.dev ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Yeah sure, give me whatever cookies aren’t already blocked. I love cookies. Is that all of them?

  Not if you’re using a Chromium based browser. Ublock Origin no longer supported in Chromium v3.

  • lyralycan@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    You can’t get it from the store, but it still works as long as you already had it, install using a browser running Chromium V2 before updating, or install it from file, right? Better yet, switch to Firefox (but the most de-Mozilla’d one)

    source

    • buddascrayon@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      No it won’t work. Chromium V3 disables or removes features that it relied upon to work. That’s not to say they might not have found a workaround. But I’m sure it’s harder and doesn’t work as effectively.

  Use adblocking DNS on your router, so you don’t need to mess with every device separately

  source

  • dafta@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    DNS blocking doesn’t work with cookie prompts since they’re from the same domain as the website. You need something like ublock origin which has the feature to block specific DOM components on the website.

    source

    • zeroConnection@programming.dev ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      But they will block those tracking cookies even if you “accept” being tracked. But yeah, good point, best to combine both

      source
• gravitywell@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  My setup is by default all cookies are session cookies unless manually changed.

  Unlock doesn’t really give that as an option but Vivaldi has it built in.

• M1k3y@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Cookie autodelete works great together with Firefox containers. Then add I don’t care about cookies and the Internet becomes usable again.

    I like this ad blocker for iOS. I think I paid $40 for lifetime access. Kinda a lot but the app works well and it’s worth it to not see ads.
