Thom Zane@prahou Everyone in this thread is likely interested in not seeing cookie banners to begin with. You can with uBlock Origin browser extension. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock Install the addon, click on the icon, click on the gear, go to the Filter lists tab, click on the checkbox next to all of the four cookie notices lists, click on the Apply changes button, and close the settings tab. If you do not see the confusing questions and do not give consent, you will only receive essential cookies.
nicolas ⁂@thomzane @prahou There’s https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic which is more specialised for that: it hides common cookies banners + actively “clicks” refusal buttons in the background for all cookies.
@thomzane @prahou I’m not 100% sure that ignoring (or simply hiding) the banners is enough. They use so many dark patterns that I won’t be surprised if we learn that they consider that using the website without closing the banner is a consent, or if they detext hiding the banner as closing it and using the default consent settings. An add-on that actually refuses on your behalf feels safer unfortunately. I use uBlock for everything else.
Max Lee@the_moep @thomzane @prahou It’s not compliant, but cookie banners that consider closing them as consent is a thing and an actual option in banner libraries, for instance: https://help.cookie-script.com/en/articles/30205-show-close-button – how many website owners are choosing that option and will go unnoticed?
@the_moep @thomzane @prahou … or even after scrolling: https://help.cookie-script.com/en/articles/30186-auto-accept-cookies-on-scroll ! How many webmasters will read these docs and not just activate all the options that seem good to them ? And the non-compliance is invisible to users at first sight. There should be another add-on to detect those violations!
