CookieBlock is a browser extension that allows you to automatically remove cookies that do not respect your privacy. Through the use of advanced machine-learning technology, it categorizes cookies into four distinct purposes. These are "Necessary", "Functionality", "Analytics" and "Advertising", which the user then has the power to permit or reject individually.
Unlike nagging cookie banners that interrupt your browsing experience, CookieBlock only requires that you define your policy once, and furthermore guarantees that the types of cookies you reject are actually removed from your browser. Moreover, CookieBlock works on any website you visit, and does not rely on the honesty of the website host.
As a result, CookieBlock perfectly complements extensions that seek to remove annoying cookie banners from your browsing experience, allowing you to preserve your privacy at the same time.
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".
It is also featured at the 31st USENIX Security Symposium: https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity22/presentation/bollinger

- (2023-02-20) Marco Stoeckli: Top app, works perfectly in the background and has different options to individualize. Since it was developed by ETH Zurich it can definitely be trusted!
- (2023-01-23) Dan Valastro: Simply does not work. I installed it, but it wasn't doing anything and the cookie pop ups continued.
- (2022-10-13) N N: works nicely.
- (2022-06-07) Benjamin Ifland: Trotz strickter Einstellung werden immernoch cookies gesetzt.
- (2022-04-02) Danny Martial: Completely breaks some websites that use Google to sign-in.
- (2022-03-25) Peter Edwards: I hate being tracked so this is just another tool to keep those trusted with cookies on the straight and narrow
- (2022-03-17) Roman Müller: Thx dudes Great!!
- (2022-03-17) Elia H.: Works perfectly, you can also choose which cookies you want to accept and which not. This extension is better than most that just quickly accept all cookies and do not block them.
- (2021-07-03) Tomáš Fiala: Great extension which takes care of all the annoying cookie pop-ups. It is also very user friendly. All the options/settings are clearly explained in a way that even a non IT-expert can easily make an informed decision what to choose. Even though it does not work 100% for every single website, it is easy to just add an exception for the site where it fails but otherwise enjoy the absence of cookie pop-ups in a vast majority of cases. Highly recommend.

- (2023-07-28, v:1.1.0) Daníel Þór Þórisson: Do you sell our data?
In the "Privacy practices" tab in the chrome webstore it says: "This developer declares that your data is: Not being sold to third parties, outside of the approved use cases" So are you selling our data in the "approved use cases"? That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid. - (2023-03-19, v:1.1.0) Adriana Batista Alves: Bloqueio de cookies
