Browser extensions offer ways to bypass cookie banners
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), cookie banners are intended to allow users to reject non-essential tracking, advertising, and analysis cookies. However, many website providers implement complex menus and extensive checkbox lists that make the rejection process more time-consuming than simple acceptance.
To bypass these banners, users can utilize browser extensions. For Apple users, the free open-source extension ‘Hush Nag Blocker’ is available for the Safari browser on macOS, iPhone, and iPad. Other extensions are available for Windows users and browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and Opera.
