    You can install a browser addon like “I don’t care about cookies” to automatically close these.

      Those accept all the cookies.

      Better to use Consent-o-Matic, which automatically rejects all unnecessary cookies.

        The best thing about that tool is that it doesn’t necessarily reject all unnecessary cookies. You can tell it your preferences, i.e. “I’m okay with basic analytics but not with ad cookies”. That’s probably the biggest feature of this addon, although I imagine most people who install the addon will want to disable everything.

        “In most cases, the add-on just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it’s needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what’s easier to do). It doesn’t delete cookies.”

          Hiding the popup should be the same as clicking reject, assuming the website is legal
