## Description

It is our legal right to protect our privacy and personal data, by choosing when to share them or not. Web pages on the other hand are trying to comply with the law.

The last years, due to the GDPR, a huge number of webpages adopted cookie consent popup mechanics, in an effort to capture an "accept all" click.

This extension gives back the privacy control to the user by hiding consent request popup and cookie accept banners and thus enforcing privacy by default. The extension silently notifies the user of the existence of the popup or banner. Users that want to review blocked consent requests are able to whitelist the website and then select the appropriate option on the consent mechanic.

This extension does not collect any data.
