Taste is a browser extension designed to automate the management of cookie consent on websites, eliminating the need for users to interact with cookie banners and consent pop-ups. By acting as a consent manager, it filters and manages cookies, providing a browsing experience without interruptions from cookie-related dialogs. The extension is available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, and is offered as a free download.
The tool works by sorting cookies and rejecting those it identifies as undesirable, while allowing cookies that are deemed necessary or beneficial. Taste provides a privacy rating for each website visited, scoring them out of 100 based on factors such as transparency, reliability, security, data minimization, privacy by default, access to information, and history of GDPR infractions. This rating informs the extension's consent decisions, allowing it to offer granular consent—accepting certain cookies while rejecting others—where possible. If granular consent is not feasible, Taste will either accept or refuse all cookies, or, in some cases, require manual intervention if it cannot interact with a site's cookie management platform (CMP).
Users can view the purposes of cookies set by each website and access a history of their consent decisions, with the option to revoke consent at any time. The consent history is stored locally on the user's device, ensuring that only the user has access to this data. For those who wish to keep a record, the extension allows the download of consent history in CSV format. Taste emphasizes privacy and aims to support websites that manage personal data responsibly by consenting smartly rather than blocking all cookies indiscriminately.
Taste is positioned as a free solution for individuals seeking to streamline their web browsing by removing cookie banners while retaining control over their privacy preferences. It distinguishes itself from traditional cookie blockers by offering adaptive, non-binary consent based on the specific practices of each website.
