Looks like I'm not reading their article.

We require your consent for the use of cookies and other technologies by us and our partners (393) to store and process personal data on your device.

Consent dialog is not conforming law.

And man, even if you go into the settings of the consent dialog, I hate these kinds of misleading toggles. Which option do you think is active?

Ironic.

Use the consent-o-matic browser plugin, works with Firefox mobile, you just have to set it up as a private collection.

uBlock Origin also has a built-in list (not enabled by default) that blocks cookie pop-ups too!

Consent-o-matic doesn't block them, it opens all the consent dialogues in the background and flips every single switch to reject/deny, so you'll never be bothered again.

Yes, and in doing so it breaks some websites, just like the "I still dont care about cookies" extension. Consent-o-matic rejects cookies instead of breaking websites by blocking the popup
