I wish I'd have a plugin that makes the difference before/after accepting cookie consent, always accept, and always flush them between pages.

I know by experience that the key isn't about refusing them, but letting them having those "user accepted" KPI values, even if it goes nowhere behind.

I use uBlock Origin's element picker and element blocker features to just make the popup notices disappear, without accepting them.

But that's mostly just a habit of mine that I know is pretty useless, as websites don't need cookies to track you, and I really don't know why they even bother anymore.

Try using the extension "I don't care about cookies"

It's excellent. I have needed to disable it occasionally to make basic site functionality work on some sites that I absolutely need to use, though I'm forgetting which ones.

ICYMI: That extension was bought up by Avast.

Well poop!

I've used Cookie AutoDelete. It was good. Is "I don't care about cookies better"? If so, how?

> Cookie AutoDelete

Don't bother with this extension as it can't delete other storage locations where there is persistant storage. Also Firefox has TCP, Total Cookie Protection so you don't need them anyway.

Better to just sanitize on close https://www.privacyguides.org/desktop-browsers/#sanitize-on-... and maybe keep history.

If you want to keep persistent logins then whitelist those specific cookies to those specific sites or use a password manager.

I'm not sure if Cookie AutoDelete hides or auto-accepts cookie popups, but that was the main motivation for using "I don't care about cookies" -- I don't want to see all these ridiculous cookie notices on every site I visit.
