I've used it, but it's not perfect and might occasionally break some websites (e.g can't scroll).
Because it inserts a overflow: hidden in or
Quite annoying!
Adsense offers an automatic consent modal. But the problem with that one is that it not only displays the consent modal but also injects a smaller widget into the site. It looks like the widget only pops up when the user scrolls down to the bottom of the page. Unfortunately, that also makes it pop up when the page is not longer than the screen. So pages where all content fits on one screen look really shitty.
Anybody who has a website with Adsense here? How do you guys deal with this?
Anybody here who wrote their own consent modal?
I am about to implement my own. Unfortunately that will then not be automatically handled by extensions like the one in this post or ublock. Putting the burden of clicking it away on my users. Even on the 50% that use an ad blocker anyhow :/
Related q: is there anyone choosing to accept all ? (Knowingly)
As my hosts-file and ad/script blocker are configured to block tracking and advertising I always click: Accept all. This is by default the quickest way to get to the content. Without compromising privacy by using addons.
I wish there was an open source project for developers to implement those darn consent forms. Adsense offers an automatic consent modal.

I just use https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/ with uBlock Origin and it just works.
Its mind boggling that anybody would agree to give away their personal data to advertisers in such a blanket fashion.

It should literally be a setting in the browser - auto decline. That would make everyone's life a lot easier.
We had something like that called DNT, and not only did nobody honor it, but it was used as an extra fingerprinting vector, totally defeating its purpose. According to the GDPR, all non-essential tracking should be off by default, so "decline" is already the default if companies were compliant with the regulation (which is a big "if").
I 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.

That's the main issue here; the EU mandated consent and gave guidelines on what that consent might look like, but they left implementation down to the industry, which decided to do it themselves (often using dark patterns, for which some companies already got fined) instead of integrating it in browsers. I remember 20 odd years ago now when Firefox came out with a popup blocker standard, built-in. Whatever happened t…
