Browse Without Annoying Cookie Permissions

Cookies are an essential part of the online browsing experience. This is what most websites use to remember information about your online activities. I don't care about cookies is a browser extension offered by Daniel Kladnik that allows users to browse online without being notified about cookies by removing the annoying pop-ups asking for permission to install. 

Purposes

Although cookies are not inherently malicious, they can be used by hackers to get sensitive data from users. Because of this, third-party cookies became a privacy concern in 2011, especially in the European Union, causing them to take action and requiring websites to ask for permission before installing any cookies. While this action against cookies is admirable, the pop-ups asking for permission can be a bit annoying for users. For example, if you are using incognito or private browsing modes that automatically deletes cookies after closing the browser, you will be asked to install cookies every time you access a certain website. This is where the I don't care about cookies extension comes into play. The add-on removes all of the notifications about cookies from websites carrying tracking cookies. This allows users to browse online without annoying pop-ups. Not only that, if you happen to encounter a website that still asks for permission, users can report websites in order to improve the add-on's database and prevent any slip-ups in the future. It should be noted, however, that the add-on does not remove cookies or prevent them from being installed. It only removes the notifications for them. As such, users who do care about cookies being installed on their system should be wary about installing this add-on. That said, since most users just end up allowing websites to install cookies anyway, using the I don't care about cookies extension just makes the process so much easier, although it doesn't give users better or worse access control

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
