I'll always take the time to withhold consent on any cookie banner, no matter how far down I have to scroll or how many levels of dialogs I have to go through.

The ghostery addon does that whole decline process automatically, and also randomizes data that is mandatory to use the site, to help hide who you actually are. I never see these popups anymore, and I have cookies set to clear on browser close, which I do at least once a day to clean up whatever’s left over.

Wow Ghostery has come a long way since back in ye olden days. It was completely replaced by UBlock at one point.

Going to have to redownload it. Thanks

uBlock Origin has cookie management under the 'Annoyances' filter. I got rid of Ghostery because of these filters.

Does that really stop them though? I do the same thing, but I wonder if they will do it anyway.
