Is there any Firefox extension to automatically reject cookie popups? (self.privacy)

I'm so fed up of these cookie popups requiring a few extra clicks to reject, are there any extensions that will automatically opt out or reject additional cookies?

In the EU this means no third parties. Rest of the world its opt-out. You may not want this.

You can change your settings within firefox to dump all cookies on exit.

Allowing cookies enables sites to gather information about you. If you delete cookies, they still got this information. Especially as there are ad tracking providers tra tracking you by mail and so on
