Is there any Firefox extension to automatically reject cookie popups? (lemmy.world)

I'm so fed up of these cookie popups requiring a few extra clicks to reject, are there any extensions that will automatically opt out or reject additional cookies?

@Weslee consent-o-matic, made by @midasnouwens https://consentomatic.au.dk. the one recommended below auto accepts them or blocks the notice, while consent-o-matic sends the legally binding reject signal.

This add-on is built and maintained by workers at Aarhus University in Denmark. We are privacy researchers that got tired of seeing how companies violate the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Because the organisations that enforce the GDPR do not have enough resources, we built this add-on to help them out.

Nice!

I would also recommend consent-o-matic. It works really well, and has a really simple interface for letting the devs know when it doesn't work.
