Love the consent-o-matic extension on Firefox. I've got it set up to auto reject unnecessary cookies when possible, really cuts down on the annoying pop ups.

The necessary ones are bullshit too but i cant figure out how to block those

You can use an extension Cookie AutoDelete.

Mind that you need to allow cookies for pages where you want to stay logged in.

I always set this option in Firefox to delete all cookies on exit. It makes tracking cookies worthless you just constantly need to sign into sites all the time but I don't care.

Hello, fellow cookie clearer!

In my Firefox setup, I do the same, but use the Containers ext. and putting the websites I always want to stay logged in to into the exceptions in Firefox settings so that I can stay logged into YouTube, Nexus, etc.!

My browser is open the entire time my computer is on. I want my cookies deleted much more often than that
