if you're trying to circumvent them the best method is to just disable javascript. the next best method is ublock filterlists. but i do use consentomatic as well because i'm lazy.
Disabling JavaScript is pretty easy, use NoScript ! Then you can selectively allow just a few scripts, plus itβs fun to find out how few you can let run on each page.
You can disable JavaScript with uBlock Origin
Ime with ublock it's not nearly as easy to manage allowing only specific scripts to run on each website to make it work but with less garbage added on compared to noscript
