      In the EU and UK this is also forbidden as rejecting should be as simple as accepting cookies.

      Consent-o-matic browser extension can handle a lot of cookie banners and automatically rejects all possible cookies.

      The most effective solution is just to wipe all cookies every time you close your browser, or creating strict cookie whitelists. Actually managing cookies on webpages is for normies.

        and then every time you visit that one good news site, you have to go through their cookie banner each time. That or install a cookie-denying addon and hope that they don’t sellout or sell your data.

          You have a total of four choices:

          1a. Wipe all their cookies every time, reject them every time they ask.
          1b. Wipe all their cookies every time, accept them every time they ask. 2a. Don’t wipe cookies, keep the “essential” ones. 2b. Don’t wipe cookies, accept all our most of them.

          2b is the only scenario where you might not get asked again. 1b is the easiest no thanks.

          I use the duck duck go browser because it makes that the default and offers to whitelist sites for cookies if you log into them (but you can turn that off in settings). It also autorejects a lot of cookies that use common popups.

            2a seems the most rational, no?

            Also maybe switch to mullvad-browser instead of DDG browser, since DDG has some controversies (search: “Zach Edwards” on the wiki) on what data it saves.

        Sadly that is not an option for firefox on android yet (while it is on desktop), the only choises you are left with are:

        • Use ff focus that completely resets the browser deleting every cookie in the process
        • Use normal ff and:
        1. Just accept that you have to deal with cookies and care to carefully select Reject on every banner
        2. Turn on delete data on “exit button press” (which sadly deletes everything again, with no possibility to whitelist some websites).

        That said, i believe Firefox should have (even on android) their “total cookie protection” thing which puts them in separate containers for each domain, so you are somewhat protected by cookie cross-tracking, but i would still prefer to delete most of them at close.

      I just implemented a cookie consent bar on my company’s website and the agencies/vendors who advertise for us were giving me so much shit for having reject available right away. But thankfully our Legal department said keep it there… Or else. “Hands tied… Soooooorry!”
