How to remove/ignore :hover css style on touch devices

by

I want to ignore all :hover CSS declarations if a user visits our website via touch device. Because the :hover CSS does not make sense, and it can even be disturbing if a tablet triggers it on click/tap because then it might stick until the element loses focus. To be honest, I don’t know why touch devices feel the need to trigger :hover in first place – but this is reality, so this problem is reality as well.

a:hover {
  color:blue;
  border-color:green;
  /* etc. > ignore all at once for touch devices */
}

So, (how) can I remove/ignore all CSS :hover declarations at once (without having to know each one) for touch devices after having them declared?
