If you are using Firefox based browser get Consent-o-matic. It will actively opt you out of cookie windows instead of hiding them like others do.
Just note that using extensions can make you vulnerable to fingerprinting.
they can very effectively track you by fingerprinting your browser + tracking your ip if applicable.
There are so few sites that should leave a cookie I just set it to purge everything on browser close, and then make exceptions for the ones who actually should leave a cookie.
Pretty sure every browser now has the option to dump all the data when it closes.
I would do that but I want to stay logged in on some websites like lichess.
The login scene is so terrible nowadays with 2fa, passkeys etc. It's not as easy as just remembering a password or using a simple password manager.
Look for 'manage exceptions' in the settings if your browser is Firefox-based.
Just whitelist the ones you want to keep. Pretty sure Firefox now let's you whitelist, I use a plug in because I've been doing it that way for years (ie before ff had the option)
Wait, foxfire does it natively now? I’ve been installing cookie autodelete for years
Deleting cookies on close? I had my Firefox set up to do that about 20 years ago
Oh. Turns out I just wasn’t looking properly
Pretty sure i saw it the other day and yeah me too on CAD
Use two browsers. One for logins, the other dumps all data on close.
