Cookie banners often provide the user with a selection of usage categories to consent to. But how can we be sure that websites really respect these choices? And what about websites that do not offer consent choices?
With CookieBlock, you can specify your consent preferences once for all websites you visit. Using artificial intelligence, the extension automatically assigns usage categories to cookies, and deletes those that you did not consent to. This way, you can enforce your cookie consent preferences, regardless of whether the website respects your choices.
Note that the classifier isn't perfectly accurate, and may make mistakes. To counter this, the extension also offers a range of customization options. Additionally, if you want to report a broken website or give feedback, you can do so using the form at:

This add-on has been built by members of the Information Security Group of the Computer Science Department at ETH Zürich, and was developed as part of the master thesis "Analyzing Cookies Compliance with the GDPR".

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
