Consent-O-Matic is a lifesaver for European users tired of clicking through endless cookie banners. This open-source, community-driven extension automatically handles cookie consent forms, saving time and frustration. While not every site is perfectly supported (it’s a work in progress), it works flawlessly on most major platforms. Finally, a tool that puts users first and respects our right to privacy—without the manual hassle. Highly recommended for anyone in the EU!

What is Consent-O-Matic?
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.

Consent-o-Matic doesn't work in many cases unfortunately, and while it's supposed to be "educational" and show you how many windows and/or time you would have spent closing them, this specific feature is critically underdevelopped to the point it doesn't serve its purpose right. You're better off going with other cookie managers like I Still Don't Care About Cookies.
Consent-O-Matic can't be replaced with uBlock Origin because it actually fills out forms automatically instead of just hiding forms visually or blocking network requests.
Consent-O-Matic won't break websites if users allow to send some data.
