Consent-O-Matic

Automatic handling of GDPR consent forms

Consent-O-Matic is a powerful Chrome extension that automatically handles GDPR consent pop-ups, helping you avoid confusing and manipulative cookie dialogs. Developed by privacy researchers at Aarhus University, this tool lets you set your data processing preferences once and then automatically responds to consent requests on websites according to those settings.

By analyzing over 680 cookie pop-ups, Consent-O-Matic categorizes data processing purposes into five simple toggles, making your privacy choices easier and more effective. When categories don’t match perfectly, the extension opts for the more privacy-preserving option, ensuring stronger user protection. Take control of your online privacy effortlessly with Consent-O-Matic.

Only had this extension a hot second, and I actually added and removed a couple of other ones thinking they weren't working - when it looks like Nature.com has just managed to block these (confirmed it worked on Cell). I'm glad I found this, anyway, because it has the clearest, nicest interface I've seen! Both the simple toggles of what cookies you will accept, with explanations, and the fact you can add your own rule lists. Amazing work, thank you so much.
