## Description

Consent-O-Matic is a browser extension and cookie consent automation tool designed to automatically interact with privacy notices and cookie banners. It utilizes a DOM interaction engine and a privacy preference manager to map user choices to automated actions on third-party consent management providers.

The project features a custom rule engine that allows for the import of external rule lists from user-provided URLs to target specific website behaviors. It employs a targeting system that combines CSS selectors with text, style, and iframe filters to locate and interact with precise web elements.

The system covers broad capabilities in web browser automation, including the ability to simulate user interactions such as clicking buttons and toggling switches. It manages consent categories by executing predefined action sequences and applying conditional logic to handle dynamic page behaviors.
