You think these websites give a shit about your privacy because you clicked on a div with a "No" in it? Not a chance. It's like asking thieves to promise not to steal from you.

The act of indicating no is frictionless if automated through an extension, and if it turns out orgs are not respecting the action, it'll end up in a class action or other legal event eventually (assuming statute or other regulatory mechanisms exists on the topic).

I noticed you deleted the privacy policy in Github, and link to this one instead https://privacy.reject-cookies.bymitch.com/ The one you link to doesn't really make sense: > Data is collected on specific sites that the product is not working on. This data is sent explicitly by users and when it is collected we do not collect any information that could be tied to a specific user. Only the name of the site is collected…
Agree! Unfortunately, that one was rejected by chrome.

Not a chance.
I want a Firefox extension that will auto-accept all cookies. Because I already use Cookie Auto-Delete and I'm just sick of the question popping up. Stop nagging and give me all the cookies so I can delete them 5s after I close your tab.
that is covered off in the article, for what it's worth
I never understood why the HTTP Do Not Track header wasn’t used to signal cookie preferences. It seemed like the perfect solution.
uBlock Origin already has this. Enable the "Cookie notices" and "Annoyances" filters in uBlock Origin's settings. Bonus pro-tip: Firefox for Android supports uBlock Origin, which means you can get rid of these godawful banners on mobile, too. Only iOS users are stuck having to put up with them.

I mean sure I guess, do whatever you want. I will always have uBo installed and I prefer to have less software on my machine (fewer things to go wrong), so uBo's list plus Firefox's protections is good enough for me. > if it turns out orgs are not respecting the action, it'll end up in a class action or other legal event eventually Not a chance.

Hiding the popup is not the same as clicking reject. It should be but it's not.

Yes. For a subset of "these websites". Because this is enforced and EU has fined billions already. The fines for doing what you say they do, are steep and a severe risk for many "these websites".
