I don't have the answer, but the consent banners are interesting.

I have two browser plugins: "I don't care about cookies" and "Never Consent", I'm not sure what Never Consent doesn't technically, but the other one just hides the DOM element with the cookie thingy.

That means that I never see the "consent" banners so I can't click the "Okay" buttons. I should test to see how many sites just assumes OK to cookies because I didn't click "No".

On a positive note I do see more an more sites making it just as easy to say no to tracking as saying yes. Though sites are better at remembering a yes to tracking, compared to a no.

Not sure whether you mixed up I Don't Care About Cookies and the other one, But IDCAC does not just hide the DOM elements - it always gives full consent.

From their website [1]: By using it, you explicitly allow websites to do whatever they want with cookies they set on your computer (which they mostly do anyway, whether you allow them or not).

Which is fine for me, I use it with Cookie Autodelete, but if you don't, you should be aware of that.

Thanks, I used one at some point that just hides the element... Now I just use I Don't Care About Cookies and flush cookies when I close the browser.

But yes, something I need to be aware of.

Just FYI, tracking is so much more advanced than just cookies. Using IDCAC means you consent to them using any method of tracking you.
