I have been using Firefox with Ublock Origin as my main browser for a long while. Usually when I get a privacy prompt, I reject cookies, or maybe some sites that are more difficult take me a to a panel that wants me to switch off loads of individual trackers.

How does Ublock handle the cookies? Obviously some are required for site functionality, such as being logged in here, but if I accept cookies (or can’t reject them) then presumably they are still accepted? Or does it accept the essential ones and delete third-party trackers?

    I would like to add that LibreWolf (which ships with ublock by default) deletes all cookies upon closing it.

      And other browsers can be configured to do the same. Though that is not ublock origin doing anything with the cookies and these settings can be enabled wtihout ublock (though you likely want ublock if you are enabling them).
