I use Cookie Autodelete. Doesn't matter what I choose, it's getting nuked when I close the tab. Handy to clear out IndexedDB and localStorage too, for sites that only let you read one or two pages before putting up a paywall.
Does it allow you to select the ones to keep? I'd like to delete everything, but signing into the services every day is annoying as hell, so I'd appreciate a solution to keep the authentication ones.
Yeah, you can manually whitelist domains (including expressions). I do this for sites where I don't mind keeping cookies around (like lemmy).
How does uBlock Origin help here, though?
I don't think it blocks Cookie banners?
It can hide the popup but all the rapist advertising companies take that as yes because you didn't say no.
Use consent-o-matic to automatically opt out.
Doesn't matter if I opt in or out if I just delete them all on closing the browser and they all disappear.
Is that needed if ublock already stops all the tracking scripts from loading?
Yes. Because cookies are used for tracking and can be set without the aid of Javascript.
For anyone interested, cookies pre-date Javascript and are baked in the HTTP protocol by way of a Set-Cookie header that the browser responds to by storing whatever information accompanies the Set-Cookie header; usually a unique id that can then be used to track what pages on a domain you visit.
uMatrix once again to the rescue. It can block cookies. The only downside to uMatrix is that it dis-/allows based on su domain, so you can't accept a log-in cookie and reject the tracking cookie, if they are served by the same subdomain.
It does, just need to enable the filter list for it. It'll block most annoying things on top of the usual ads.
It helps partially. As it will block known trackers and tracking cookies.
