This extension operates entirely within your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
Auto Reject Cookies does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. Specifically, this extension:
The extension stores the following data locally in your browser only:
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Enabled state | Remember if you have turned the extension on or off |
| Whitelist | Sites where you have disabled automatic rejection |
| Rejection count | Simple counter of banners rejected (shown in popup statistics) |
| Handled domains | Domains recently processed (auto-expires after 1 hour) |
This data never leaves your browser, is not synced to any cloud service, and is deleted when you uninstall the extension.
<all_urls> — Required to detect and reject cookie banners on any website. The extension only reads the page to find consent buttons. It does not read, store, or transmit page content.
declarativeNetRequest — Used solely to add the Sec-GPC: 1 header to your outgoing requests. This implements the Global Privacy Control standard. No request data is read, logged, or transmitted.
storage — Saves your preferences (enabled state, whitelist) locally in your browser.
tabs and activeTab — Updates the toolbar icon when cookies are rejected and shows whitelist status for the current tab.
The extension sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal with every request. This is a standardized privacy signal that tells websites you do not consent to having your personal data sold or shared. Under laws like CCPA, businesses are required to honor this signal. See globalprivacycontrol.org for more information.
This extension does not use any third-party services, APIs, or analytics platforms.
This extension is open source under the MIT License. You can review the complete source code at github.com/mjkuniversal/auto-reject-cookies to verify these privacy claims.
For privacy questions or concerns, please open an issue on the project repository.
Any changes to this privacy policy will be documented in the extension's changelog and repository commit history.
