Hey!

I would like to hear from you if you have a successful method to block the various cookie banners like:

  • small banners
  • full page banners with complicated structure
  • full page banners which say ‘pay or accept’
  • bonus points for newsletter popups

I do use uBlock and PiHole. But when I used extensive lists which handled cookies, my experience was that most websites broke some kind or another.

So please share your successful ways with me :)

    It’s sad to see companies’ malicious compliance working. They make it tedious so users get exasperated with it and just accept it.

      Well to be honest, even if each and every website wouldnt use dar patterns and there is a clear choice to refuse with one click, it would still be obnoxious to decline everytime you visit a site.

        “Required cookies” is already a category, under which a cookie could be placed to remember your choice. But that would be counter to their interests.
