That website had a huge list to scroll down to opt out of cookies. At the very bottom was a highlighted button to toggle everything on and undo all your hard work.

But I'm sure everything else they do is trustworthy.

All for a 2 paragraph article, i spent longer unchecking the fucking boxes

I couldn't even have uBlock remove that

[-] FierySpectre@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Out of all things, somehow privacy badger removes it

This site convinced me to, yet again, block third-party scripts by default on mobile. That works, btw.

[-] Jtotheb@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Except then it blocks the cookie that remembers your cookie preferences, and your entire time online is spent closing pop ups. Welcome to the future of convenience!

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Oh, third-party frames too. This is my default everywhere, so i didn't thought of it. Was it this?

[-] Jtotheb@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Thank you for the recommendation, I’ll see if that does it

I have my client (voyager) set to default to reader mode, so I didn’t even see any cookie options. Does this mean I accepted them all or none or what?!

[-] BossDj@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Reader mode kinda just leaves the cookie popup in limbo. The website is still waiting for you to answer. ~~Same as not accepting I guess.~~ You can text this by toggling reading mode on/off and the pop-up will appear

*edit: I dunno if it just replaced the cookies now that I think about it....

have you tried consent-o-matic? Admittedly, it didn't work on that site, but it works like a charm on > 90 % of sites I visit.

No problems with AdAway.
