Consent-O-Matic
Consent-O-Matic is a Safari extension for Mac that automatically handles cookie consent banners using privacy-focused choices when possible.
What is Consent-O-Matic?
Consent-O-Matic is a privacy-focused Safari extension that helps Mac users deal with cookie consent pop-ups on websites. It works by recognizing supported consent banners and automatically submitting choices, with a preference for more privacy-preserving settings when a site does not use standard categories. This makes everyday browsing less repetitive for people who regularly encounter GDPR and cookie notices. The app is mainly useful for Safari users who want fewer interruptions while reading, shopping, or researching on the web. On macOS, users install it through the App Store and enable the Safari extension to let it run on websites where consent dialogs appear. Consent-O-Matic is published by Consent-o-matic and is designed around web privacy and consent management rather than ad blocking in general.
Key features

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This app needs Safari extension access so it can read and interact with web pages that show consent banners, which is normal for its purpose. Because it works inside your browser, it can affect how some sites behave and may not handle every banner perfectly. Keep Safari and the extension updated, and disable it on sites where automatic consent handling causes problems or conflicts with your preferences.
Recommendation: Keep Consent-O-Matic if you use Safari and want less manual work with cookie banners. If you rarely browse in Safari, prefer to handle consent choices yourself, or notice site-specific issues, you can disable or remove it without affecting macOS outside the extension.
