I've been using Consent-O-Matic which works pretty well but built into the browser? Wow.

Found out about this literally three days ago and it has been such a blessing. I am a little unsure though with regards to what settings are applied from blocking the banners. I would assume it should enforce a minimal amount of cookies due to the lack of acceptance.

Unless they have US specific behavior. The US doesn't even require a notice, some devs just included it because they were too lazy to add geolocation.

Or because geolocation can be flaky. I’d assume management would rather comply with the GDPR requirements than risk ever getting into a lawsuit because they relied on IP geolocation.
