I’m so fed up of these cookie popups requiring a few extra clicks to reject, are there any extensions that will automatically opt out or reject additional cookies?
@Weslee consent-o-matic, made by @midasnouwens https://consentomatic.au.dk. the one recommended below auto accepts them or blocks the notice, while consent-o-matic sends the legally binding reject signal.
Been using this a couple of weeks and it is great. Looking forward to more add-ons like this coming to Firefox for Android.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/consent-o-matic/
This add-on is built and maintained by workers at Aarhus University in Denmark. We are privacy researchers that got tired of seeing how companies violate the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Because the organisations that enforce the GDPR do not have enough resources, we built this add-on to help them out.
Nice!
I would also recommend consent-o-matic. It works really well, and has a really simple interface for letting the devs know when it doesn’t work.
Consent-o-matic automatically goes through the cookie banner and makes sure everything is disabled instead of simply blocking the banner
Strongly recommend this one. It’s also available for chromium, Safari, and iOS
Not an answer, but a warning: I’ve tried a couple of them and they may break some sites and I found very difficult to debug (probably because how many addons I have). If you notice weird things, try disabling the addon.
I just installed the recommmended Consent-O-Matic and it does work in the only website I remember was broken with other addons. Looks promising, thanks!

This is it. Lots of complicated answers in this thread. It’s built into uBlock, just not on by default.
@furzegulo consent-o-matic, made by @midasnouwens https://consentomatic.au.dk. the idontcareaboutcookies one doesn’t do what you want as it auto accepts them or blocks the notice, while consent-o-matic sends a legally binding reject signal.
It would be cool if this one could get the “recommended” status from Firefox. Would get more installs that way
i see, i’ll install it right away. thanks!
Works good with cookie autodelete https://addons.mozilla.org/sv-SE/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/
I started using consent-o-matic on my android phone in Mull, this does exactly what you describes. It accepts and rejects the settings you like.
Works great on firefox desktop too
Something I didn’t realize I needed until I read this. Thanks for the post
Remember to use Firefox containers, then you can accept all the cookies you want and they will never see outside of the container (you have to put the website in a container though)
It’s pretty laborious to do this for casual browsing though. The websites I visit regularly where it’d be worth configuring this aren’t the ones with cookies I’m worried about.
Found the answer
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/temporary-containers/
I use in Vivaldi blocker this filterlists, which can be added also in uBO, they are working fine.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/i-dont-care-about-cookies/
One of those extensions recommended by Mozilla.
Doesnt this mean that you’re by default agreeing to the cookies though ? I’ve tested not responding to the pop up on several websites and they all write cookies if you don’t respond
You are right; I should have fully read OP’s post before advising.
In my case, all cookies (except the ones I marked as exception) are deleted when browser is closed. Note, 3rd party cookies are by default blocked on Firefox.
I found this to be right setup for me.
Sorry, for the confusion.
Ghostery has a never consent option, so the popups show up shortly and are automatically closed. Doe not work 100% of times, but most times. For me, it’s perfectly suitable.
Use uBlock. Either with a list or learn to use the selector tool to remove the overlays/scripts directly. That is what I do for the GF’s PC so she can watch YT.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/popupoff/
Popupoff simply removes those pop ups and since you can’t see the dialog to accept the cookies it is like not having given consent to cookies. (It sometimes makes the site not work properly, but you can set global and site specific to mitigate the issues.)
I even asked the developer here to make sure.
I also managed to install it on my android, to do this follow this guide https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2020/09/29/expanded-extension-support-in-firefox-for-android-nightly/
In the EU this means no third parties. Rest of the world its opt-out. You may not want this.
