### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2025-04-01*

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

### 2/5 — It stopped working

*2024-06-25*

It was working well for a while but I'm not having issues where it just doesn't do anything and I have to disable and érable the extension. It then works a few times and then stops working again altogether.

### 2/5 — Recent update

*2024-06-23, version 1.1.0*

App’s recent update has seemed to worsen the cookie panel dismissal rate

### 2/5 — An important extension that barely works

*2024-06-03, version 1.0.13*

This is such an important extension considering the endless cookie pop-ups on the internet are moronic, insulting, and annoying beyond belief. But this extension barely does anything to address the problem. It hardly ever performs its purported function, so now you have to deal with the cookie pop-ups AND ALSO alert the developers that the extension failed yet again. It could be great if only it worked.

### 2/5 — Small improvement

*2023-08-25, version 1.0.12*

This app reduces some of the cookies but misses obvious websites like Truth Social. I see fewer pop ups but am more annoyed by the ones I do see.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2023-07-27, version 1.0.12*

Works perfectly.

### 5/5 — So far this fantastic

*2023-07-26, version 1.0.12*

Been trying it out on a lot of different sites and the success rate is incredibly high. Amazing job to everyone involved!

### 5/5 — Can’t fault it

*2023-07-17, version 1.0.12*

This is the ultimate quality-of-life improvement for browsing the modern web. It might be my single favourite app that I have installed due to how many tiny (but endless) papercut annoyances it saves me. 

The only better option than this would be if cookie consent was implemented at the browser level rather than per-website!

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2023-07-14, version 1.0.12*

Finally, a reliable plugin that lets me specify my cookie handling preferences and then automatically applies it to websites I visit. It doesn't work with 100% of sites, because there are some design patterns the plugin doesn't recognise yet, but on most sites, it does the job, and it makes browsing the web much less irritating.

### 1/5 — Not Sure It Does Anything

*2023-06-03, version 1.0.12*

I’m not sure this app does anything at all. It certainly doesn’t cancel endless cookie notifications on websites like it promises to do.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 1/5 — Mostly useless

*2025-05-04, version 1.1.3*

Seems to work on about ten percent of websites.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work with Mojave 10.14.6

*2024-08-08*

Sadly, doesn't work on my MBP, OS 10.14.6. It's there in the Applications folder, but when I try to open it, all I get is a small blank 'pop-up' type of screen.

### 1/5 — No longer working

*2024-08-04, version 1.1.1*

No longer working even with the update

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-06-28, version 1.1.1*

It worked for a few moments after installation, seemed like a game changer.

Saying no and declining the handing over of information sounds like the sort of thing Apple should be doing in Safari by default so this sounds perfect.

Unfortunately it’s just doesn’t work, after the first hour of installation it stopped working. I know that the settings are correct and permissions have been granted because it did work for an hour and then it stopped. 

Shame, could be great… but it isn’t.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2024-06-22, version 1.1.0*

No longer works

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2024-06-20, version 1.1.0*

Worked great until very recently. Now does not work at all.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-04-18, version 1.0.12*

Doesn’t work on most sites

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 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 !!

### 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.

### 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

### 5/5 — Works well and active responsive team

*2024-10-13, version 1.1.3*

This app is great, it is free, works very well and the team behind it was very responsive on GitHub when there was a bug recently. I posted the issue on GitHub and it was dealt with and a new update with a fix was pushed very quickly!

### 5/5 — Problems with app

*2024-06-29, version 1.1.1*

The app’s been brilliant over several months but in the last couple of weeks it seems to have largely stopped being effective on my iPhone using safari - but still works great on desktop devices. 
Do you know of any likely reason for this?
Thanks for such a brilliant app tho!

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2024-05-15, version 1.0.13*

I don’t usually leave reviews but I am really pleased with this app and felt compelled to say thanks.

### 5/5 — Works as advertised

*2024-05-13, version 1.0.12*

I just tried this on one of those sites that's pure hot garbage as soon as you load it. And this app worked perfectly. Set it to not even display the annoying pop-up and enjoy

### 5/5 — works better than the others

*2024-02-20, version 1.0.12*

In my experience, this extension works better (on more sites) than others I've tried.
