- Rated 3 out of 5by Drago, 3 months agoMight addon and usually helpful in doing its job.
But it blocks playback on Deezer! Cause Deezer allow streaming if the cookie consent was accepted only and the banner was removed without further action by the addon, streaming is impossible right now. - Rated 3 out of 5by Benjamin, 6 months agoI can't report a problem with a site.
Reason: The captcha image on the site that is used for reporting isn't loading.

Problem with other sites/the extension:
The cookie warning is blocked, but there is also no scroll bar and I can't scroll down, even with the mouse. After allowing and answering the cookie warning, the scroll bar appears and I am able to scroll down.
I use the add-in in Firefox 130.0.1 (64-Bit)
Affected sites:
planet-beruf.de
bzfe.de - Rated 3 out of 5by pihentagy, 6 months agoCannot report problem with a site

Accept all cookies Refuse non-essential cookies - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 5605776, a year agoWhen trying to report a site that is not properly covered by this extension there are errors in the report page, such as the image for "security question" does not show up in Firefox.
I suspect that is due to the fact that page has the following errors:

- Rated 3 out of 5by AssassinWarrior, 2 years agofor deviantart, it seems to break the website as it doesn't register mouse clicks UNLESS you whitelist the site. there may be more sites out there like this but personally, this is the only one i experienced.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Michał Piotrowski, 2 years agoIn general it blocks popup for good but unfortunatelly many websites implement this notification in the way that without confirmation it's impossible to browse or website seems cripled. That's why I need to disable.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17571018, 2 years agothis addon was great, but avast lol... thanks for informing us Daniel, please guys propose alternatives in reviews ;)
- Rated 3 out of 5by Lea, 3 years agoPlease publish your source code on GitHub. It's already licensed under GPLv3 and having easy access to the source code would make it possible for the community to make contributions and improve the extension. Functionality wise, top notch - I couldn't imagine using the internet without it <3
- Rated 3 out of 5by Pablomino, 3 years agoI have always been satisfied with this supplement and I have used it for many years. Recently, however, it has begun to negatively affect the behavior of Firefox by the fact that, for example, on the website www.czc.cz it was not possible to scroll the page down. I had to remove the add-on and now use Ninja Cookie to block cookie dialogs.

posted 3 years agoTry reporting czc.cz using the "report" link in extension's menu: you'll see I'm aware of the problem and it will be fixed soon. Btw, you don't have to uninstall the extension just because of that: you can whitelist that website until it has been fixed. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15607480, 3 years agoI had to disabled it, too many (italian) websites were broken by it (e.g. www.radio24.ilsole24ore.com)

posted 3 years agoAre you sure? I just tried it and the website works perfectly. Please report to author@i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu if you see a problem there (or anywhere else). Thanks :) - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17109352, 3 years agoAs of November of 2021, I ("technical data-security" person in public sector) see the legal situation for this addon as follows:
Lets start with a big con about entering legal contracts by surfing in the world wide web:
- Absolutely violates the " informed consent" required by GDPR by sometimes giving consent but hiding what I actually agreed to. Legally, neither the user nor the website now know if anyone is at fault for aggregating and using personal data. I can neither exercise my rights to be informed or correct data that was collected, nor can the website owner use or sell my data in good conscience.
- The developers website acknowledges this schism: "Please educate yourself about cookie related privacy issues and ways to protect yourself and your data. For example, you can block 3rd party cookies, install ad blocking extensions and then block tracking tools, delete browsing data regularly, enable Tracking Protection in your browser etc."
Which is the right way to handle cookie banners. This is the worst way for all parties involved. To reiterate: even the website owners get a poisoned gift by receiving non-legally-valid consent, and the user waives all control over their personal rights without even knowing, how that might hurt him or her whenever this add-on allows some tracking cookies to be stored.
Pros:
+ Visually, seems to work. (Legally, see above. Browser Cookies are not about cookies or computer science, but the actual subject matter is keeping others from knowing what kind of stigmatised interests or ridiculed condition you keep to yourself or a very limited audience. By not caring, you shoot yourself in the foot.)
+ The developer actually reads this and reacts to it.
UPDATE:
Starting in December, this Addon will probably need to register as a "Personal Information Management Systems" (PIMS) in germany, to finally become legal. Let's hope that it won't be an extensive and thereby expensive certification. If @Kiko fails to do that, this app will still work ins legally gray area are finally become illegal in germany and should regionally be blocked to avoid anyone sueing Kiko or the end-users.
The EUs info on that:

This might even of interest for power users or people who actually read EULAs.Developer response
posted 3 years agoThe extension's name says it all - it's for people who don't care much about the consent the website will get, the data it will collect nor what it will do with that data. If you do care that much, it's probably not for you. You didn't rate how it does what it is for, but rather how you feel about the overall idea.
You were right about the somewhat poor description here on Mozilla though, I adjusted it. Thanks for that! - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17097840, 3 years ago
