What do you use for cookie blocking?

Nothing special, I've turned off both first party and third party cookies in the browser settings. I add sites I use regularly to a domain whitelist [1], other than that I don't use much anything for cookies anymore. Historically I also used to use Privacy Badger [2], but with my current setup it isn't really all that relevant.

In broader tracking and privacy context, I also use NextDNS [3] and uBlock Origin [4].

[1] chrome://settings/content/cookies?search=cookies

[2] https://privacybadger.org/

[3] https://nextdns.io/

[4] https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock

So if a site requires cookies for authentication you manually add that site every time?

You could give uMatrix a try, I use it to block cookies, images, media and iframes. If you really want to allow a site to use all that it is a bit easier to do (I think)
