    Filters out as in hides it from you?

    Ublock origin is very good at getting rid of cookie banners, though you have to enable it in settings, not sure about pay walls.

            So it appears, though I’m unsure whether it auto-accepts required cookies, those that have no opt-out option. If it’s banners, and not walls, then UBlock blocks the banner and thereby doesn’t give permission to store any kind of cookies, including the required ones. Kinda as if you browse the site without ever interacting with the banner.

            Sadly, both need to trust that the site actually follows the rules and respects the selected/unselected cookies.

            EDIT: Scrap all that, most sites don’t respect cookies settings either way, might just get either of the above and Cookie Auto Delete or something similar.

              when you deny ‘all cookies’ and add exceptions for the few you need to, the cookie banner keeps splashing even if the sites’ cookies won’t be accepted. Consent-o-matic gets rid of them and it refuses automatically for the sites that won’t work without “essential” cookies. (In Europe there are organizations that verify if these choices are respected)

              this way you don’t need cookie auto delete

              i use uBlock myself, with very rigid preferences but people find uBlock complicated 🤷 so i install this addOn with a cookie shortcut for the sites they need to accept cookies

              i add a weak ublock that won’t get in their way though, for all the trackers &c
