[edit]

Some time ago a law was passed in Europe requiring all websites to obtain authorisation from the user to place cookies on their computer. I think this is irritating and would like to grant authorisation to place all the cookies on my computer that websites want to just like they did in the past without bothering me. Is there some browser extension or setting I can set to declare my authorisation so websites can stop with constant notifications every time I visit a new one? --78.148.111.75 (talk) 15:48, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, there isn't any way to do what you want. The cookie consent forms and notices are implemented on a site-by-site basis, meaning there are many different implementations. For instance, here's one solution and another in the form of a WordPress plugin with completely different behaviors. I'm sure even more are written from scratch just for individual websites.
