Every website asks the same question. Skippa answers it for you β€” 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 β€’ Watches every page β€” Skippa looks for cookie consent prompts on every site you visit, including the ones hidden inside frames and pop-ups. β€’ Answers for you β€” it recognizes 30+ consent platforms (OneTrust, Cookiebot, Didomi, Quantcast, TrustArc, Usercentrics, Sourcepoint and more) and accept buttons in 25+ languages, then dismisses them instantly. β€’ You stay in control β€” 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 β€” no endless clicking in the background. PRIVATE BY DESIGN β€’ No account. No sign-up. No ads. β€’ No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. β€’ Your skipped-banner count never leaves your device. β€’ Found a site that slips through? One tap reports the domain β€” 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 β†’ Safari β†’ 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.
