Personally I nearly always take the time to scroll through and untick all the permissions, or find a different site because screw them, that's why. I realise I'm in the minority.

This should make it a lot easier :) It auto-handles most gdpr permission walls, and yes, you can set it to reject all - that's what I do! (I'm sure this exists for Chrome, too, but if you care about this sort of thing you really should be using Firefox!)

  Thank you for this; I've been manually unticking everything since these regulations came into effect and have to admit it was getting a bit tiring (plus sometimes I was too hasty and accidentally clicked "Accept" when the cookie buttons were in a weird order or had non-standard wording.) I hope this helps me decline all the things more efficiently.

    Just remove the dialogs with ublock filters; this is supposed to mean no consent. Most spy networks don't care and track before you click anyway.

GDPR mandates that they are all already unchecked except for the so-called "essential" or "functional" ones.

  I wish I had more time and / or money because this is commonly ignored, and I would love to take all organisations who don't abide by this to court just for the hell of it. Many times it's under the guise of "legitimate interest" under a separate unselected tab and I would love to test that in court.

    I feel like the EU should have made it so that you could actually sue corporations for GDRP violations (as long as you have enough evidence for a court to hear the case) and for the accuser to get part of the fine if you win. Would have been a much more effective enforcement strategy.

  Weil, good for GDPR. Meantime, is there anything I can do to report sites that don't follow the letter of it?
