Consent-O-Matic Extension

Cookie pop-ups are designed to be confusing and make you 'agree' to be tracked. This add-on automatically answers consent pop-ups for you, so you can't be manipulated. Set your preferences once, and let the technology do the rest!

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.

Most recent changes:
* Fixed issues related to manifest v3
* Fixed a bug causing some rules to not complete properly, leaving the popup open

Mirko Baučić (ID: 0000002bdaf063fb) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/05/2023 Great tool, works most of the times in my experience. Browsers should have such options by default, as navigating the modern internet has become a pain, no matter the good intent of the consent.

Kyle Robertson (ID: 0000000e9ab83eaa) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/18/2023 Works super quick and cleans up my browsing experience. Recommend.

H Morgan (BluDolphin) (ID: 000000b29c0d47f2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/16/2023 An amazing extension, this should come built into every browser its that good. Thank you to the developer/s that made this, you're a lifesaver.

Josué Peña (ID: 000000a6a1b92a9a) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/05/2023 DOES NOT WORK.

E. T. (ID: 0000008810c9259e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/18/2023 Live-saving extension! (unlike other popular ones). Handles the annoying cookie form era perfectly for a majority of the websites I visit (Chrome), and misses a few ones which are probably built differently from the dataset you used. Researchers that find!! Free software wonder. Keep up the great work!
