You should not use "I don't care about cookies", it is broken by design and chooses the wrong policy. Instead, use Consent-O-Matic. This kills consent banners but preserves privacy to its best ability.

You could also block the trackers with uBlock Origin. I use “I don’t care about cookies” because I don’t care about cookies. Not because I care about what settings are being set. I trust uBlock and other privacy protecting settings to actually protect privacy instead of the cookie prompts.

uBO + IDCAC is still worse than uBO + Consent-O-Matic. Not the right solution.
