Important thing to note is that as long as you haven't accepted the tracking cookies, they're not allowed to use them. So blocking it is essentially the same as not accepting it.
I use https://consentomatic.au.dk and I’m quite happy with it.
I rep concentomatic aswell even as a US based user.
btw, it's in Filter Lists > EasyList Annoyances.
I wish I'd known this earlier 🤯
Same here :)
Do you use uBlock Origin? It has an option to deal with cookie pop-ups.
I do! I did not know it could do that.
Enable AdGuard - Cookie Notices and EasyList - Cookie Notices under Filter lists > Annoyances > AdGuard - Annoyances / EasyList - Annoyances in uBlock Origin
We would also accept "Reject all"
Usually necessary is on and greyed out in almost all the dialog boxes I see.
I only found out about it when the chap that made the best-known cookie banner blocker sold his extension to some scumbags. I hope it does what you need.
I use the Cookie Auto Delete extension and whitelist the ones I need to keep, say for logins. All the rest are set for a 15-second delay. Fifteen seconds after I close their tab, they are deleted. I have the delay in case I closed a tab mistakenly.
Ghostery does this.
