A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.

Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

Some Rules

Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
Don't promote proprietary software
Try to keep things on topic
If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
Be nice :)

Use a vpn with a Eu server. More sites like google will show a cookie popup with the "reject all cookies" option.

Reject all cookies if it exists. Otherwise accept cookies and then click on the :

shield icon > cookies and site data > delete (trash icon)

This is super useful when you want to read an article on some news website and it shows a cookie popup.

Librewolf does that by default, among other things. And as thanksforallthefish mentioned, in settings you can whitelist some pages to prevent cookie deletion, if you want to remain logged in.
