Finds the banner
It knows 27 consent tools by name, and reads the wording of the rest in about 20 languages.
Say no to cookies, nicely.
Cookie Away is a free Chrome extension that clicks “Reject” on cookie banners for you, even when it’s hidden three screens deep.
Install it free in about a minute. We tested it on 69 European sites and published every result.
Chrome Web Store: in review Works in Chrome, Edge, Brave and Arc.
How it works
It finds the reject button so you don’t have to.
Says no for you
No reject button? Kooky opens the settings, turns off what it can and saves your answer.
Checks it’s gone
After each click it checks the banner has gone from your screen. If it hasn’t, it has one more try.
Careful by design
Careful, not clever.
Never pays to say no
Some news sites only let you reject if you subscribe. Cookie Away leaves those banners for you to decide.
You keep your place
Cookie Away never clicks a link that takes you off the page, so you carry on reading what you came for.
Knows when to stop
If a banner keeps coming back, it pauses on that site for 24 hours instead of looping.
Off when you want it
Turn it off for any site from the popup.

Questions
Good questions.
Does Cookie Away send my browsing anywhere?
No. Cookie Away has no server and no analytics, and your settings stay in your browser. The only exception is the optional Jev feature, which is off by default, needs your own API key, and sends only the site’s name, the banner text and its button labels.
How is rejecting different from hiding the banner?
Hiding a banner doesn’t tell the site you said no, and some sites keep tracking until you answer. Cookie Away actually answers, by clicking reject or switching everything off in the settings and saving.
What does Cookie Away do on pay-or-accept cookie walls?
Cookie Away leaves pay-or-accept walls alone and doesn’t click anything on them. On those sites rejecting cookies means paying for a subscription, and the extension never pays for anything or makes that choice for you, so you decide whether to accept, subscribe or leave.
Which browsers does Cookie Away work in?
Chrome, and other Chromium browsers such as Edge, Brave and Arc. It’s in review on the Chrome Web Store; until then you can install it from GitHub in about a minute.
Does Cookie Away reject every cookie banner?
No, Cookie Away doesn’t reject every cookie banner, and its test results are published so you can check that for yourself. When you find a banner it didn’t answer, send us the link to the site, because every report makes the next version better.
