Accessing most websites these days means you either accept all cookies or spend ages deselecting cookies. It’s an absolute pain in the arse! Remember the days before all this?

There ought to be a requirement that all sites have a single button to decline cookies. Quick and simple. It should be made law the millions of hours that would be saved.

Who has a government contact to suggest it?

With uBlock Origin you just need the EasyList Cookie filter checked and it will block all these notifications.

I use DuckDuckGo as my browser. You can accept whatever cookies and crap, then as soon as you close it, they all disappear (unless you specifically say otherwise)

uBlock plus Cookie Autodelete. I nuke all cookies every 15 minutes with a very short whitelist.
