Don't forget the "legitimate interest" cookies that you can't even disable because the dickheads selling the ads think the law doesn't apply to them!
Accepting 3rd party cookies is just smoke and mirrors. Safari blocks them by default, so websites can just send data through the Webpage Javascript directly to their affiliates if they want to.
Your data is still being collected. To what extent, I don't know.
The EU mandates active consent for all tracking, not just cookies.
I'm not sure if analytics and data such as browser signature can be rejected if they are considered required, but I'd be keen to know more.
Fuck Veggie Tales. That shit is creepy Christian propaganda

Even if there's a reject button, still freaking annoying when you start reading and after two seconds you get interrupted by the prompt.
It used to be just the newsletter prompt, the notifications prompt, etc. Don't need an additional thing by law. 😑 Let's hope it goes away soon with the current developments.
Don't need an additional thing by law. 😑
You still don't need it if you don't spy on your users. Cookie banners are not required. Asking for consent before collecting data that goes beyond the necessary minimum is required.
Indeed, websites like Wikipedia and Lemmy don't ask for cookies because they don't want to invade your privacy.
And they are completely in line with the EU law.
That's what I meant. I thought that was clear from the context. 😅 My bad.
I've recently discovered an extension called Consent-O-Matic, which automatically completes cookie forms. Also, uBlock Origin includes lists (disabled by default) that will block all sorts of annoyances, including newsletter shite.
Yeah, I have them both and they're great!
Firefox plus superagent. Superagent is an extention that automatically applies your cookie setting to those prompts and you don't see them. I now reject all and haven't seen a pop up since installing. I can't vouch for its security though. I am pretty new to Firefox, but it seems to work.
I have consent-o-matic, works great on both desktop and mobile. 👍
I don't want any cookies unless they come with milk (or save my login info for return visits on the same device).
I Just disable cookies by default or have it session only cookies. Back before Firefox supported Auto rejecting or accepting prompts natively I used to use one of those. It would accept the cookies however since it only allowed session based cookies when I closed my browser It would delete them all.
