How to Browse the Internet Without Accepting Cookies
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
Two steps get you most of the way. First, block third-party cookies in Chrome (Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies), which stops most cookies set by other companies' trackers. Second, use Cookie Auto-Reject to click "Reject all" on cookie banners, so sites don't set their own advertising and analytics cookies. Cookies a site needs to work are still set, and sites can track you in other ways, which a tracker blocker helps with.
