Fortunately webpages never do any tracking whatsoever, let alone “Gobshite LLC and its 1131 partners need your permission for (contd. p94)”



Luckily tools such as uBlock Origin let you block all those nasty scripts, _including_ the cookie banner themselves.


I have uBO and I still see cookie banners.


Unlock Origin doesn't enable all filters by default, you can go in the extension settings and enable more filters which removes the cookie banners etc.


Does it remove them by automatically consenting to the cookies, rejecting them or just hiding the banner?


It hides the banner, so no consent is ever given. Plus, uBlock would block most scripts that place cookies anyway.


It blocks the cookies and the banner. Ideal solution.
