I've used it, but it's not perfect and might occasionally break some websites (e.g can't scroll).

Re: Consent-O-Matic: Automatic handling of GDPR consent forms
#12I wish people would stop confusing cookie-consent laws and GDPR. They are quite distinct laws and are giving GDPR a bad rap for wholly the wrong reasons.
And GDPR largely superseded cookie consent IMO. As in: you don't even have to ask consent if the cookies are strictly necessary: https://gdpr.eu/cookies/

The consent form situation did not get this bad until GDPR was passed. Prior to GDPR cookie-consent forms were simple "Yes" or "No" buttons without all the insane pages of toggles.

#14Unlike other extensions, this one doesn't simply 'Accept All', but rather allows you to set default preferences and uses those.
With uBlock Origin you can just hide them, so you don't even have to answer to not consent
Just hiding consent can sometimes break a page. I haven't experienced any broken pages with this extension.

#15What I'd be much more interested in is some form of automated reporting of GDPR violations. EDIT: not to knock on the efforts of this developer though! Just thinking that actually holding websites accountable would be a way out of this internet harassment arms race in the long run.
NOYB is doing something like that, but they send notifications to the website owners before reporting a violation: https://noyb.eu/en/more-cookie-banners-go-second-wave-compla...

#16anyone thinking that the detection part is possible through a deep learning model ?

#17I wish there was a standard browser API for this. If the law is going to force this to be a thing, and it's not going away, web standards should respond.
It could even just be a flag in the cookie itself declaring that something isn't strictly necessary.

I had same issue with other solutions I tried. Consent-O-Matic is the only extension I found so far that doesn't break pages. But it doesn't handle all consents unfortunately.

Dead simple solution: provide a GDPR consent form with "yes, I accept being tracked" or "no I refuse being tracked in any way".
Or even better, make the form automatically recognizable by your browser and a setting in the browser so that it says yes or no for you.
Have you ever notices that the "yes I agree" button is most of the time MUCH easier to click on than to tell "no I don't" ?
