Every website asks the same question. Skippa answers it for you — cookie banners are dismissed the moment they appear, so pages open ready to read. No taps. No interruptions. Just the page you came for. HOW IT WORKS • Watches every page — Skippa looks for cookie consent prompts on every site you visit, including the ones hidden inside frames and pop-ups. • Answers for you — it recognizes 30+ consent platforms (OneTrust, Cookiebot, Didomi, Quantcast, TrustArc, Usercentrics, Sourcepoint and more) and accept buttons in 25+ languages, then dismisses them instantly. • You stay in control — pause Skippa anytime, globally or on a single site, right from the Safari toolbar. CAREFUL BY DESIGN Skippa only ever presses accept and close. It never touches "Manage settings", "Reject", "Learn more" or sign-in buttons, and it stops working on a page once it is clear — no endless clicking in the background. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account. No sign-up. No ads. • No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. • Your skipped-banner count never leaves your device. • Found a site that slips through? One tap reports the domain — the rest of the address is stripped away before anything is sent. SET UP IN 30 SECONDS 1. Open the Settings app 2. Go to Apps → Safari → Extensions 3. Turn on Skippa 4. Set All Websites to Allow Then just browse. Watch your counter climb. Free. No subscription. Works on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Questions, or a site that needs fixing? rapps.sup@gmail.com
