The Chrome extension that rejects all cookies for you
A free cookie blocker extension that answers cookie pop-ups on your behalf — rejecting tracking instead of accepting it.
No more clicking through cookie banners on every site you visit. Never-Consent is on by default in the Ghostery Tracker & Ad Blocker extension, alongside its ad blocking and anti-tracking.

Should you accept cookies?
No — and you shouldn’t have to answer at all. Most cookie pop-ups are asking permission to track you across the web, and “Accept all” is simply the button made easiest to click. Ghostery clicks “Reject all” for you on almost every site, so tracking is declined and the banner is gone before it interrupts you.
Do you have to accept cookies?
Almost never. Only essential cookies — the ones that keep you signed in or your basket filled — are needed for a site to work. The rest are optional, so you can reject all cookies and carry on reading.
Why do websites ask for cookies?
Privacy laws like the GDPR require a site to ask before it uses tracking cookies for advertising and analytics. That’s why the same cookie banner follows you around the web — every site has to ask.
Reject, don’t just hide
Most cookie pop-up blockers hide consent banners or auto-accept them — whichever is least disruptive — so tracking often stays switched on in the background. Never-Consent does the opposite: it answers cookie banners by rejecting tracking, so your refusal is actually recorded by the website.
1. Detects the consent pop-up
When a website shows a cookie banner, Ghostery recognizes the consent platform behind it — its rules cover the pop-up providers used by most of the web.
2. Rejects all cookies automatically
Never-Consent answers the pop-up on your behalf, declining non-essential cookies and tracking — before the banner can interrupt what you’re reading.
3. Keeps you opted out
Your opt-out is applied consistently across supported websites, while Ghostery’s ad blocking and anti-tracking keep protecting you long after the banner is gone.

“Best ad-blocker I've ever used! I love the Ghostery 10 redesign and 'Never Consent'!”
“I have been using Ghostery for years. It is a good feeling to know they are protecting me while I am browsing online. But the feature I love most is their ‘Never-Consent’ to cookies.”
“Ghostery is great, the released Never-Consent suppressing cookie popups is a master, and in addition, deleting ads on Safari on Youtube is also a glory.”
Cookie banner questions, answered
How do I block cookie banners?
Install the free Ghostery Tracker & Ad Blocker extension — Never-Consent is part of it and on by default. From then on, cookie banners on supported sites are rejected automatically, with no settings to configure.
How do I reject all cookies automatically?
Use Never-Consent, built into the Ghostery extension. It answers consent pop-ups for you, rejecting non-essential cookies and tracking on the sites it supports — instead of you clicking through banners yourself.
Does Never-Consent accept or reject cookies?
It rejects them. Unlike tools that hide banners or auto-accept to make them disappear, Never-Consent declines tracking and expresses your opt-out to the website.
Is Never-Consent free?
Yes. Never-Consent is a built-in feature of the free Ghostery Tracker & Ad Blocker — no subscription or paid tier required.
Which browsers does Never-Consent work on?
Never-Consent works wherever the Ghostery extension is available: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera on desktop — and on mobile with Firefox and Edge for Android and Safari on iOS.
Does Never-Consent work on every cookie banner?
It supports the consent pop-up providers used by most websites, and coverage grows with every release. On sites it doesn’t recognize yet, Ghostery still blocks the trackers behind the banner.
Never click a cookie banner again
Add Ghostery to your browser and let Never-Consent handle the pop-ups.
