When I access Youtube, either through typing in the address bar or bookmarks, then it will correctly default to the UK for its content setting since I'm based in the UK. Tomorrow is voting day here in France so I’ll have to get shaved, showered for the second round, lol (spending far too much time in front of the screen and in back of my obligations).Further to my last post, I now understand the issue even more. But as you mentioned it alternatives exist, Invidious indeed as well as Piped, the latter IMO far more efficient, beautifully crafted, my main alternative. I forgot to mention that when I do open YouTube I have two dedicated POWER extensions :īoth help a lot. Without the script the method you evoke is keen, indeed. Consent apart I quit Google News as fast as I had started it : no direct link to the news articles, all goes through Google redirecting servers : NEVER that here, lol. I had tested a Google service which requires the CONSENT, Google News, and the script worked as well as with YouTube (Google cookies no longer blocked of course). Because what I use from Google (images, maps) runs with cookies forbidden for … no problematic there (but I must have modified the script otherwise I get an infinite loop when it tries to add the CONSENT cookie when accessing google domains). The idea is that the ‘Google Shut Up!’ userscript avoids any bother with the YouTube consent popup, as well as with the Google consent popup when applicable. YouTube cookies allowed + ‘Google Shut Up!’ userscript + ‘Cookie Autodelete’ extensionĪll is wiped from YouTube when exiting : cookies except CONSENT & localStorage & indexedDB

It bothers me less if I tell ‘Cookie Autodelete’ to keep the CONSENT cookie, but if cookie permission for YouTube is session-only, I have to go through the cookie initialization on every new session. If I keep the YouTube CONSENT cookie it’s because when no cookie, the script starts and sets the cookie, and that means a half-second blank page before YouTube appears. Of course I could NOT set allow cookie for YouTube (just a session cookie), and/or I could wipe all YouTube cookies (CONSENT included) with ‘Cookie Autodelete’ when exiting YouTube. In fact my DnsCrypt blocklist even includes :Ĭ # HANDLED BY Google Shut Up! USERSCRIPTĬ # HANDLED BY Google Shut Up! USERSCRIPT The script handles adding the CONSENT cookie to YouTube. With the above-mentioned script, ‘Google Shut Up!’, I don’t even need to add any dedicated UBO filter. Hard to explain neither too much neither Heart, The environment is more complex but that’s the basis I guess. I’ve set cookie permission for YouTube to ‘Allow’ (remain after restart) and told the ‘Cookie Autodelete’ to keep only YouTube’s CONSENT cookie : other YT cookies, “YT-localStorage” and “YT-IndexedDB” are wiped as soon as YouTube pages are closed. Nevertheless given I block Google cookies (because not required for the use I have of Google) but not YouTube cookies (because blocking YT cookies appears problematic), I’ve modified the above mentioned userscript to handle only YouTube cookies : “Remove annoying cookies popup on google and youtube login popup on youtube!” I haven’t encountered the new popup (yet) which may be related to the fact that I run a userscript named ‘Google Shut Up!’ : Regarding Google’s new cookie popups for European users,ĭevice is in France (so am I btw). More cookie specific settings but that’s the basisĬookies, localStorage, IndexedDB cleanup handled by the Cookie Autodelete extension.
