- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15109409, 5 years agoThis addon automatically accepts cookies:
"Starting with version 3.0.2, this extension notifies websites about which cookies the visitor allows them to install. By knowing this, websites can skip displaying the cookie warning and act according to the given permission. As a result, you will be bothered by cookie warnings even less. "
Privacy oriented users, please bear in mind the following:
The Verge shows a tracking-consent message when visiting the site from the EU. Most people will click "I Accept" to make it go away, but if you don't and hide the message via CSS, you won't be tracked and the site is way faster: 32 vs 5 secs load time 61 vs 2 JS files 2 vs 1 MB

Ublock Origin cookies block removes the CSS and does not accept the cookies, you can also use the element picker.

posted 5 years agoOk, one by one...
1. This addon automatically accepts cookies WHEN it is necessary for the website to function properly. Mostly it just hides cookie warnings.
2. Quoted message has nothing to do with automatically accepting cookies. It is about notifying websites what you allow them to do so they may skip displaying a cookie warning alltogether if they want to improve user experience.
3. Cookie warning on theverge.com is not auto-accepted, it's just hidden with this extension, so I don't know why you are writing about it.
Regards,
Daniel
SMALL UPDATE: there may be some important features that don't work properly on theverge.com without auto-accepting cookie policy, just like on some of their partners websites. In that case I'd need to auto-accept it. For now, the cookie warning will just remain hidden. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14751441, 5 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12955352, 5 years agoGood but needs a better method to not break sites. Currently twitter.com and tweakers.net are broken and the failure mode of landing on an unusable site leaving you with no clues is just awful.

posted 5 years agoTweakers.net works in the latest version. I don't get any reports about twitter. Like with any blocker, when you see a problem, you have to report it and disable the extension for that particular page/website, at least until it is solved. - Rated 4 out of 5by Azarilh, 5 years agoThe update pop ups are annoying.
EDIT: Yeah, it pop ups once. Still annoying.Developer response
posted 5 years agoThe update pop-up is set to be displayed only once. There may be something wrong with your browser, ie if you use sandboxing or a single browser profile across multiple devices. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15147805, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15108590, 6 years agoGreat add-on. Only issue here now is that the page https://tweakers.net/ stays blank / gray ...
Developer response
posted 6 years agoYeah, I see it's reported to me, they have changed something on the website... It will be fixed in the next version. You may also let them to check which cookies you allow them to install and stop bothering you: https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/cookie-installing-permission-header/ - Rated 2 out of 5by Aragorn, 6 years agoI am going to uninstall this extension unfortunately due to the send policy of sending custom headers to websites as explained at https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/cookie-installing-permission-header/ (another reviewer pointed this out)

posted 6 years agoYou can disable that feature in extension options, there is no need to uninstall it. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15105830, 6 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Cynyster, 6 years agoSo I get to exchange on kind of annoyance with another. The annoyance of the cookie popup or the annoyance that I get a full browser screen ad every time I launch my browser.. You want how much to stop your ad?
Yeah Get BENT I am the kind of guy that DOES donate to plugin developers. But not to exchange one annoyance for another... Bye ByeDeveloper response
posted 6 years agoThe notice is set up to be displayed only once, when the extension gets updated to version 3.0.2. If you see it more than once (in a single browser), there might be a bug in the browser itself. If you can, please send me more info about it. You can also try to uninstall the extension (I guess you've already done that part hihi) and install it again after the browser restart. That may help.
Also, if you have some kind of sandboxing software like Sandboxie, it can cause this kind of problem with addons, you should see the instructions provided by sandboxing software developers. - Rated 5 out of 5by Thomas, 6 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by eriador, 6 years agoUpdate: the author decided to start sending custom headers to websites as explained at https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/cookie-installing-permission-header/
This could be exploited as a fingerprinting vector, so make sure to disable those notifications in the addon's preferences if you're concerned about your privacy. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15075998, 6 years agoIf you hate that cookies pop-up as much as I did then this is a must!
