I don't use personally but this might be of interest for you: https://github.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-cookie-shit-list

There is an adblock filter list for cookie warnings: https://github.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-cookie-shit-list

This filter removes most of the cookie dialogs: https://github.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-cookie-shit-list

This one works well for me: https://github.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-cookie-shit-list

There are several blocklists specifically curated to adress the EU cookie nag: http://prebake.eu/ https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/ https://github.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-cookie-shit-list AFAIK some prominent cookie notices are also part of the Fanboy Annoyances list: https://easylist.to/ The only prominent nags that are not very well targeted with those lists are in webapps like reddit mobile. Primarily because of their dynamic, non-descriptive ids.

One thing about this, is that I don't particularly want an ad-blocker per se: I want a malicious-or-annoying-stuff blocker. So I primarily use Privacy Badger, which dynamically blocks sites that try to track me (and gives me an excuse to rail against sites that tell me I'm running an ad-blocker, because I'm not running an ad-blocker!) and self-destructing cookies to stop first-party tracking on sites I don't trust. The down-side of self-destructing cookies being the EU cookie regulation, which relies on sites setting a cookie to tell me that I have to agree to set cookies, when I've actually configured my browser to do what I want with the cookies anyway. So then I need an ad-blocker set up specifically to block the cookie panels (with https://github.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-cookie-shit-list) which requires me to have an ad-blocker installe

There is also https://github.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-cookie-shit-list which blocks far more, even the unobtrusive ones. Think of it as AdBlock Plus with the 'acceptable ads' feature disabled.

I've been using a different filter list[1] for more than a year, and it's really useful as I already use self-destructing-cookies[2] to exercise control over which cookies my browser will remember, meaning that pretty much all sites think I've never visited before and therefore try to annoy me with their cookie banner.

Any chance to include and keep up to date an Eu cookie policy block list ? Here's a good one: https://github.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-cookie-shit-list I'd add it myself just aren't sure how to keep it updated.

I'm probably getting Blockr (http://blockr-app.com/ , .99€) just for the option to block the idiotic cookie warning overlays brought by the "cookie law". The rest of the options looks tempting too, specially social buttons blocker. Btw, if someone's interested in the same cookie warning blocking using uBlock/ABP, here's a cool list: https://github.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-cookie-shit-list

BTW, if you want to get rid of all of those annoying EU cookie warnings, there is a filter list compatible with uBlock Origin and AdBlock here: https://github.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-cookie-shit-list

There is a list for adblock[1] with our own mike-cardwell contributing but it doesn't have the kind of coverage you're used to from ad lists. [1] https://github.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-cookie-shit-list

There's an ad-block filter specifically for removing these things: https://github.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-cookie-shit-list Just add this to your filter list: https://raw.github.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-cookie-shit-list/ma...

If there are already so many ways to fingerprint via cookies, JavaScript, Flash, etc. that it probably doesn't matter then why do cookies matter? That the EU parliament decided to pass some weird law is not much of an argument. They're not exactly known for their technological proficiency. And it did nothing for privacy. It only annoys people[1]. Sure, we could start with cookies. However, that would break a lot of the web with no immediate benefit. On SSL everywhere (not "anywhere"), how much resources does it cost to negotiate SSL/TLS with every single smartphone in their area? Supposedly, not much[2]. I run https websites on an Atom server. Frankly, that was rather unconvincing. Although it does seem likely than the entire process was driven by IETF trying to stay politically relevant in the face of SPDY. [1] https://github.com/r4vi/bl

that's why I didn't go down this route; most sites keep serving cookies until you tell them not to so I've found that an adblock filterlist works very well: https://github.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-cookie-shit-list where we just hide the entire cookie cruft every time or block the cookie prompt script if it's a widely deployed plugin
