CookieBlock

Cookie banners often provide the user with a selection of usage categories to consent to. But how can we be sure that websites really respect these choices? And what about websites that do not offer consent choices? With CookieBlock, you can specify your consent preferences once for all websites you visit. Using artificial intelligence, the extension automatically assigns usage categories to cookies, and deletes those that you did not consent to. This way, you can enforce your cookie consent preferences, regardless of whether the website respects your choices. Note that the classifier isn't perfectly accurate, and may make mistakes. To counter this, the extension also offers a range of customization options. Additionally, if you want to report a broken website or give feedback, you can do so using the form at: https://forms.gle/tL21ruvPZq2q218P8 This add-on has been built by members of the Information Security Group of the Computer Science Department at ETH Zürich, and was developed as part of the master thesis "Analyzing Cookies Compliance with the GDPR".
