That’s unnecessary. Not clicking anything is legally identical to opting out. So just install uBO and add the cookie list filter and block those annoying banners entirely.
You’re not wrong, but in my experience those lists cause some sites to not work anymore, the whole site will stay dark waiting for the cookie pop-up for example, or you can’t scroll. I still use uBO to block ads but Consent-O-Matic gives me a better experience on those sites.
Disabling uBO, dismissing the cookie pop-up and then re-enabling uBO usually works, but is a lot more work than just running Consent-O-Matic in the background.
Horrendous that this isn’t just a browser setting that can be applied universally. It’s 100% opt out every time.

Did you try to dismiss then manually or use the filter list?

You didn’t answer my question. Do you have to cookie list filtered in uBO or are you just using the default list?
I was using the cookie lists but I stopped using them due to the aforementioned problems.
ah ok, sorry.
I have it, and it does help, but it seems more often than not I still get a pop up for cookies.
You can report websites that it failed to act upon in the extension window
Ublock Origin has that option!
Where?
Settings, filter list, cookie notices
Well, it could have been but just like
robot.txteveryone ignored the Do-not-track Header in HTTP requests.That’s why I leave this off. Ironically the “Do Not Track” signal is used to more effectively track you.
