Even if there’s a reject button, still freaking annoying when you start reading and after two seconds you get interrupted by the prompt.
It used to be just the newsletter prompt, the notifications prompt, etc. Don’t need an additional thing by law. 😑 Let’s hope it goes away soon with the current developments.
You still don’t need it if you don’t spy on your users.
Cookie banners are not required.
Asking for consent before collecting data that goes beyond the necessary minimum is required.
“In most cases, the add-on just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it’s needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what’s easier to do). It doesn’t delete cookies.”
Firefox plus superagent. Superagent is an extention that automatically applies your cookie setting to those prompts and you don’t see them. I now reject all and haven’t seen a pop up since installing. I can’t vouch for its security though. I am pretty new to Firefox, but it seems to work.
I’ve recently discovered an extension called Consent-O-Matic, which automatically completes cookie forms. Also, uBlock Origin includes lists (disabled by default) that will block all sorts of annoyances, including newsletter shite.

Indeed, websites like Wikipedia and Lemmy don’t ask for cookies because they don’t want to invade your privacy.
And they are completely in line with the EU law.
That’s what I meant. I thought that was clear from the context. 😅 My bad.
You can install a browser addon like “I don’t care about cookies” to automatically close these.
Those accept all the cookies.
Better to use Consent-o-Matic, which automatically rejects all unnecessary cookies.

Hiding the popup should be the same as clicking reject, assuming the website is legal
Yep, this is the one I have. 👌💪 It’s very good.
I’ve been using susperagent on Firefox but wasn’t sure about its security, I’m new to the Firefox world.
Interesting extension. I think I’ll give it a try.
It is entirely open source, and the website does a very good job explaining what it does and why.

I have consent-o-matic, works great on both desktop and mobile. 👍

Yeah, I have them both and they’re great!
