They don't work for me. > disable some cookies No, f*k "some cookies". I block ALL cookies except for a few sites I need to log into. That means, ironically, the godawful popups can't set a cookie to remember that I don't want cookies, and they keep popping up every time I go back to that site. The popups are a horrible experience, as are "please sign up for the newsletter" popups. I don't read any newsletters. I use uBlock Origin which gets rid of most popups, Intercom chat boxes, and other annoyances.

I do that in reverse: everybody can set all the cookies they like, but only a few sites are allowed to keep their cookies after I close the tab. I do use I Don't Care About Cookie and this combiantion makes the web much more usable in my opinion.

  And did you consent to setting cookies or did you enter a contract allowing tracking you with other means as well? If you consent on one site for one ad-company and reject on the other, can/will they use the original contract and track you on the rejected website? Or do you need to opt-out with the hidden form which can take 'up to 100 years? " Legitimate interests" are supposed to be interests integral to the running of your business. Ads are the core of an ad-business. Is this a loop-hole? I don't know. Yes, the web is more usable. But does anything anyone does actually limit the information? I don't know, maybe I'm too cynical.
