  • Holy smokes! Thank you very much for mentioning it, dear @[email protected] ! Since, I try not installing addons that are not published open-sourced, but this one is! ✨

    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.

    We looked at 680 pop-ups and combined their data processing purposes into 5 categories that you can toggle on or off. Sometimes our categories don’t perfectly match those on the website, so then we will choose the more privacy preserving option.

    The first version of this add-on works with 4 popular pop-ups: Cookiebot, OneTrust, QuantCast, and TrustArc. The add-on is open source, so anyone can add additional pop-ups through our template system: https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic.

  • Of course, thank you, and I do realize that, but:

    1. I tried selecting sections that where not associated with othe vendors - same result;

    2. Shouldn’t it still be allowed to store cookies for the same vendor/domain, without any consent, by default.

    3. There are other means/API than cookies to store consent state in common browsers, including: LocalStorage, IndexedDB, SessionStorage, CacheStorage etc.
