I believe you’re thinking of “I don’t care about cookies”, which accepts everything. Consent-o-matic goes for maximum opt out by default unless you configure it otherwise (I doubt anyone does).

Unfortunately as the opt out flow is tweaked more often than the accept all flow (as cmp vendors work to minimise opt outs), this does mean it breaks more often on sites so sometimes it fails to remove the banner

Yes, that must be it. Thank you for the correction!

To be fair, the name isn't doing it any favors. "Consent-o-matic" sounds like it "automatically consents".
