I installed that thing on my dad's laptop. 8 months later he calls me up and says that theres some weird window asking him to accept something. I thought it was something worse, so put on my shoes and walked over to his place, opened the laptop and... it was a cookie prompt lol.
In his defense, it was in English and he doesnt really understand English very well. But goes to show how great consent-o-matic works, heh.
