## What is Consent?

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.

## Key features

- Autofills GDPR consent forms
- Protects against tracking manipulation
- User-defined preference settings
- Categorized data processing options
- Prioritizes privacy-preserving choices

### 1/5 — Mediocre at best

*2025-10-08, version 1.1.3*

I’m sure it’s blocking some number of these and I wouldn’t know (it doesn’t keep count) but honestly I see more of these silly popups than ever. There’s a "report" button for anything where it didn’t work, but I don’t think those reports are being reviewed and the app doesn’t seem to update with them.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-10-01, version 1.1.3*

Cookie consent forms still come through on tons of sites. This app is essentially useless.

### 5/5 — Works well, but instructions need to be explained better

*2025-08-05, version 1.1.3*

It works well, but the instructions need to be a little more clear. When you go to a website and it asks if the app can access the page, press allow for all websites.

### 5/5 — Mille merci !

*2025-05-24*

J’étais un ancien utilisateur de Superagent, depuis que j’ai trouvé cet appli j’ai résilié mon abonnement chez eux. Ça fonctionne beaucoup mieux que superagent et c’est gratuit !!

J’apprécie la possibilité de signaler rapidement quand les cookies n’ont pas été traité automatiquement. Keep up the good work !!

### 1/5 — Mostly useless

*2025-05-04, version 1.1.3*

Seems to work on about ten percent of websites.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2025-04-01*

It’s almost perfect, but some sites making resistance. Oh, can you add iCloud sync ?

### 5/5 — Convenient!

*2025-03-03, version 1.1.3*

Convenient way to make your choices *once* and apply them to every site you visit. Lets you know it's working without getting in your way.

### 1/5 — Literally doesn’t work

*2024-12-04, version 1.1.3*

Set it all up and went on a few websites - GDPR Cookie pop ups on every site… doesn’t work at all.

### 5/5 — Best app for cookies / pop-ups consent

*2024-10-13, version 1.1.3*

This free app works very well and is privacy focused, not profit driven like “Super Agent”. It is developed by a team based in Denmark at Aarhus University, a reputable education institution. This app can be trusted, unlike apps that only care about access to users personal data and making money by charging extortionate amounts of money via silly subscription prices.

### 5/5 — Très bonne appli

*2024-10-13*

Une appli gratuite qui fonctionne très bien et conçue en Union Européenne au Danemark par une université réputée, Aarhus University. Cette appli ne collecte donc aucune donnée personnelle et n'a pas pour but de faire du profit. Il y avait un bug récemment mais l'équipe derrière cette appli a été très réactive et a trouvé une solution rapidement! Merci

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.3 — 2024-09-30

This is primarily a bugfix release:
- Fixed typos in German UI
- Fix a bug causing some popups not to be properly registered
- Improve debugging log by splitting it into two flags instead of one in the development tab

### 1.1.1 — 2024-06-28

- Trying to work around a bug in Safari causing the extension service worker to be killed about 30-45 seconds after the extension has been enabled with no way to wake it back up ever. This issue affects iOS 17.4.x (only to some extend), 17.5.x and the 17.6 beta

- This release also adds an error in the Safari Settings saying that the extension service_worker failed. This is an unfortunate side-effect of the work-around for the above

### 1.1.0 — 2024-06-06

This release contains no feature changes but quite a few changes to the code-base in order to update to the new extension platform "manifest v3":

– Update manifest to version 3
– The extension automatically opens the preferences page once upon installation
– A warning is shown on the preferences page if required permissions have not been granted

### 1.0.13 — 2024-05-14

Most changes these days are in the rules. This release wraps up recently added new features and some minor bug fixes to the extension itself:
- Support for creating rules that pierce into shadow DOM (open and closed) for popups that try to hide in there
- Accessibility: The engine now unfocuses the last button clicked when filling out popups so focus is correctly returned to the page itself for tab'ing/space navigation
- French language added to UI
- Better standardized parsing of URLs
- Added missing permission causing Firefox to fail to disable the addon on pages with popups inside iframes from a different domain
- Now correctly doesn't run on content that isn't HTML and also doesn't show an error
- Slightly improved the popup UI
- Fixes for the rule editor

### 1.0.12 — 2023-03-04

Performance improvements and bug fixes.
