`Consent-O-Matic` is a user-friendly Firefox add-on developed by Aarhus University's privacy researchers. It works by automatically handling the consent pop-ups that appear on websites, ensuring that your privacy is prioritized and minimizing the risk of manipulation through complex cookie consents. This tool effectively categorizes data processing into 5 categories that users can modify according to their preferences. Their main aim is to protect individual user data in accordance with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation.

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.

This is very good addon, but it needs a step by step algorithm of choices, normally websites can be viewed from a crawler point of view with no exchange of cookies, but then cookies would still be useful to remember users, and for this is only needed to learn the authenticator iframe from which a user logged in without learning how the user arrived there or who exactly was the user in his real life, but the things go agonistical onto learning more about users because at some point in development history of internet showed up social networks and people were erected from internet explorers adventurers students from their eagerness to know more to the attitude of the men and women with personality, people rises their heads up, they became someone important, someone with a face. And this happened at planetary scale. And while most people were waving happiness over Facebook ... have showed up from shadows the haters. And hate coagulated into actions against social platforms and coagulated politically, regionally and locally into anonymous actions. And then Facebook was surrounded at the wall of shame. When they have actually brought happiness in the world, not hate. And the evolution and growth of internet impact in society turned bad ... and then to dissipate this anger, hate and hold it before becomes reason of wars have showed up 3rd parties backed by banks holding up our internet freedom. But ... freedom of growth and they also held down bad issues and drove away haters or hunted them down. So ... Thats why ... We do not login from iframes or from dead files (of one time use only) today. We must give everything is known about us to be renown openly. But is not ok .... I understand. So we still need an algorithm to help us use consentomatic ... An automatic algorithm to be helpful.
Bad things have not stopped defeating anonymous ... Or by fighting back haters in China or Russia ... So ... Bad things went further moving from street level to in office level where hate is polluting rivalries between thieves intellectual thieves and fabricated intellectuals actually and fabricated Richie's too ... And banks are for this fight to continue until the evil is eliminated and ... Then is hard to say we will see a stop with cooking activities. And those who do not know how to cook a bacon but they trafficate lives are gonna be more and more. AI pilots are helping them now. So we need consentomatic ... A little bit more automatic build if possible
I worked a bit around your dev settings, at first I did not know what, I think I succeeded to force websites auto load my consent automatically but I do no not know if I reject or consent for all trackers ... Fact is is auto consent process with ... dunno which of the choices, both buttons reject and consent are greyed simultaneously ... Which one is auto loaded I cannot see, so it works something, wish i could have made it to skip submission or submit with a 4th 3rd party to evade submitting with the wrong ones
Big thank you for your help to auto consent ... But if you really wanted to help us in some way GOOD WAY you could sketch up an auto consent to share our data with vendor NOT CHOSEN by website to share with ... AND DENY SHARING with all his marked for sharing 3rd parties ... THIS WAY YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN OUR KING NOW
