The EU cookie directive mandates "consent" often via a popup. Can I block those?


The EU cookie directive, a monstrous directive that effectively banned a part of normal economic life, mandates "consent" before cookies can be set. This is often implemented via an annoying repetitive and pointless popup that appears AFTER I have voluntarily accessed the site.


Is there a popup blocking solution that allows you to automatically accept cookies and get rid of the popup so that I never have to think about this again?



Answer



If you use Adblock Plus then adding this list (txt file) is helpful in blocking a lot of these messages. See David Thorpe's blog for more detailed advice if needed.
