BannerBye

Cookie banners, killed. Before they load.

Every website wants your "consent." Every page asks you to choose between accept, reject, or wade through a 30-page settings menu. The banners take over the screen. The "reject" button is hidden. You click "accept" because you want to read the article. Then the next site asks you again. And the next. BannerBye stops it. Set your privacy once, and the extension handles every cookie banner before it reaches you — silently, automatically, on every site. ────────────────────── HOW IT WORKS BannerBye uses three independent signal layers, applied in order, so it works whether the site uses a known consent platform, a custom banner, or nothing at all: 1. Global Privacy Control (GPC) — the extension adds the official "Sec-GPC" header to your browser's outgoing requests, telling websites you do not consent to the sale or sharing of your personal data. This is a public web standard, recognised by laws in California, Connecticut, and Colorado, and increasingly across the EU. 2. IAB TCF v2.2 signal — when a site uses the Transparency & Consent Framework (the standard most major European publishers and ad tech vendors use), BannerBye answers the consent call on your behalf with a "reject all" string, before the banner has a chance to render. 3. Auto-click fallback — for sites with custom-built consent UIs (most Dutch e-commerce, news, and forum sites), the extension reads the visible button labels and clicks the "Reject all" or "Necessary only" option for you. The list of recognised buttons is updated daily without needing a new release. ────────────────────── WHAT MAKES BANNERBYE DIFFERENT ▸ Privacy by absence. We collect nothing. No accounts. No analytics. No telemetry. No usage tracking. There is no business model that depends on knowing what you do online. ▸ Local-only data. The extension stores your settings on your own device, in your browser's storage. Nothing is sent to a server. Nothing leaves your machine. ▸ One network request — public data only. Once a day, the extension fetches a static JSON file from bannerbye.com containing updated button labels in different languages. The request contains no identifying information about you. ▸ Open about permissions. Every permission the extension uses is listed and explained on our privacy page. We use the minimum required to do the job. ────────────────────── WHAT BANNERBYE DOES NOT DO ▸ It does not read the content of pages you visit beyond the cookie banner itself. ▸ It does not collect or transmit form data, passwords, or anything you type. ▸ It does not run analytics, A/B tests, or feature flags. ▸ It does not phone home with crash reports or performance data. ▸ It does not contain third-party advertising or tracking SDKs. ▸ It does not sell, share, or rent any data — there is no data to sell, share, or rent. ────────────────────── CONTROL The popup gives you one tap on/off, plus per-site pausing for the rare case a site doesn't work without consent (some video players, some paywalled articles). Your pause list is local; you can clear it anytime. ────────────────────── LEGAL BannerBye respects the Global Privacy Control standard, the IAB TCF v2.2 specification, and rejects on your behalf in line with GDPR and ePrivacy. The extension does not bypass authentication, paywalls, or DRM — it only answers the consent question that every site asks. ────────────────────── LEARN MORE Site: https://bannerbye.com Privacy: https://bannerbye.com/privacy Contact: hello@bannerbye.com Cookie banners, killed.
