>I want a plugin that automatically says "OK" to cookie banners.

Why would you want that? Even if you delete 3rd-party cookies that would still allow tracking companies to log your IP and track you through some other shady means which you've now consented to.

Because it makes no difference to my assurance-level which button I click. There's no way of knowing what they do serverside with your form submission (and it nearly always is a form submission).

Cookie approval has to be under the control of the user, not the website. So it has to be done by the browser or an extension. So if I have user-controlled cookie-approval, I might as well click "OK" on the form - the site might treat me better if I do.
