Improve filtering of EU cookie notices

[indolering]

Shouldn't we be filtering ads entirely? Ads can (and are) abused to manipulate search ranking.

We don't have a CSS selector engine at the moment and it's unclear if we could add one without a massive performance hit.

In terms of performance issues, well, how are you planning on handling one-page-apps and other sites that require JS?

Decide which lists to use depending on license, maintenance and coverage

I checked all of the major ones and most of the regionals, most of them are under a CC or similar OSS license. A handful prohibit non-commercial use (which is fine since we are non-profit). Many of them don't mention licenses or usage restrictions but our usage should fall under "fair use". I've asked the FilterList maintainer to add a license attribute to the machine readable list so that we can keep tabs on it.

The FilterList about page mentions something about checking for updates, I've requested more information about this feature.
