I'd actually recommend consent-o-matic instead of IDCAC. It actually selects the minimum concent for you instead of just hiding it.
- EDIT: Ignore my blind confidence. CAD is (mostly) broken in recent FF versions. (See ivn's reply to this post).
  Consent-o-Matic with Cookie Auto Delete and Firefox's Multi-Account Container tabs covers it all nicely for me.
  Cookie banners get handled, cookies I don't explicitly want to keep automatically disappear when I leave the site/close the tab, and those I do want to keep can be given their own containers to keep them separated.
  
  Cookie autodelete doesn't work with strict mode and you should use strict mode. Just drop it.
  You don't need an extension to auto remove cookies with Firefox.
  
  You're right. I'll be damned. That'll teach me to set-and-forget then not keep up with changes to Firefox and their effects on extensions. Thanks for the heads up.
  
  Here's how to auto-delete cookies without an extension: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/blob/128.0/user.js#L669
  Set privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown and privacy.clearOnShutdown_v2.cookiesAndStorage (I don't know if privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies is still needed) to true. To allow a website to keep cookies do CTRL+I on the address bar then check "Set cookie" in the Permissions tab.
  
  Isn't this toggleable in the regular firefox settings, whitout using about:config flags?
  
  Can I white list sites too?
  Never mind, saw your other comment. Thanks!
- I use uBlock Origin's picker mode instead. It lets you select which element you want block. It works on other annoying notices, popus and annoying stuff not just cookie notices
  
  clicking the cookie notice away with the picker mode doesn’t mean the cookies don’t apply.
  
  it would illegal if cookie apply before you accept, so just hide should work.
  but bet they do it anyway.
  
  It should according to eu law and siteadmins that still do it should be tarred and feathered
- I use that one on iOS. In Firefox I use the native functionality (the cookiebanners.service.mode flag). See https://community.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/firefox-cookie-banner-handling/. I also set cookiebanners.ui.desktop.enabled to true to make this setting appear in the settings menu.
  
  I didn't know it was native too!
