Since the updated ePrivacy Directive (ePD, Cookie Law) came into effect in the EU in 2009, asking the user for consent to the use of cookies has become a wide spread nuisance on the World Wide Web. In 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was implemented and led to a further proliferation of artefacts appearing on websites, telling the visitors about the use of cookies for tracking and advertising, many times applying dark patterns to nudge the viewer into giving consent.
CookieCalmer is a Safari content blocker based on an analysis of 10.000s of websites. Our servers crawl the World Wide Web permanently to detect cookie banners on pages and insert the required filter rules into our database, which additionally receives manual maintenance. Using these signatures the CookieCalmer app blocks those pesky banners on a huge number of websites, those analysed and even completely unknown.
Enjoy the web like it was meant to be! In case your favourite website is not covered by CookieCalmer properly, we are happy to receive your feedback!
