CookieBlock: Ensuring Privacy by Blocking Unwanted Cookies
CookieBlock is an innovative Edge add-on developed by the Information Security Group at ETH Zürich. It leverages advanced machine-learning technology to classify cookies into categories: 'Necessary', 'Functionality', 'Analytics' and 'Advertising'. Users have full control over which types to permit or reject. Unlike annoying cookie banners, CookieBlock needs only a one-time policy setup, ensuring the cookies you disapprove are indeed purged. It works universally, not relying on website hosts' candor, and enhances your browsing experience by maintaining your privacy.

Deletes unnecessary cookies without user intervention. That's what I'm looking for. It could be standard on all browsers!
Recommended accessory!
You may be able to display the number of blocked cookies. Then I would consider it completely flawless.

Ajánlott kiegészítő !
Esetleg kijelezhetné a blokkolt sütik számát. Akkor teljesen hibátlannak tekinteném. )
