A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.

Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

Some Rules

Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
Don't promote proprietary software
Try to keep things on topic
If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
Be nice :)

Updated alternative to Consent-O-Matic (automatically select what cookies you want placed)? (suppo.fi)

submitted 1 week ago by 4TBHMeCCL@suppo.fi to c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Consent-O-Matic selects what cookies you want (you choose in the preferences), but the last commit was last year (due to the fact that those who work on the project have less time, see https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic/issues/591#issuecomment-4845151993 and https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic/issues/600#issuecomment-5559403316).

Does anyone know of any alternative that is similar and staying updated? Preferably have Firefox and Chrome add-ons.

(if there is a better community to post this question to, please let me know which it is)

which I believe on many sites means you accept all

apparently that depends on where you are

Opt-in consent is the standard under GDPR — implied consent is not valid

You must block non-essential cookies before consent — anything else is non-compliant

Non-essential cookies are blocked until the user gives consent.

"Opt-out consent" model is more common in regions with less stringent data privacy regulations, such as under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
