Delete specific cookies from Google Chrome?

Solution 1:

On Windows and Linux, press Ctrl+Shift-i. On OS X, press --i instead.

Alternatively, open the Developer Tools pane from the Tools menu.

Open the Resources pane, and delete the cookies you want to delete.

Solution 2:

Here's a command-line solution for deleting specific cookies from Chrome.
Cookies are stored in an sqlite database file:

  • on Linux: ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Cookies
  • on Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cookies
  • on Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Cookies

You can delete all cookies belonging to a site by running an SQL DELETE command on this file:

Linux / Mac

sqlite3 cookiefile 'DELETE FROM cookies WHERE host_key LIKE "%domain%";'

Windows

sqlite3 cookiefile "DELETE FROM cookies WHERE host_key LIKE '%domain%';"

Note:
You can download the sqlite commandline client from here: https://sqlite.org/download.html

Solution 3:

The wrench menu is gone now. In Sept 2014, the answer to the question of how to delete specific cookies in the Chrome Browser is:

  • Go to menu button, choose "settings".
  • Select "Show advanced settings".
  • Go to "Privacy".
  • Select "Content Settings" button.
  • Under "Cookies" select the "all cookies and site data" button.

A shorter alternative to arrive at the same place as the above steps is to type the chrome URL directly into the address bar: chrome://settings/content/cookies, which can also be bookmarked for more convienient reuse, before proceeding onto the final steps:

  • Search for the site you want to delete.
  • Click the "X" to the right of the site listing.

Google sure has made this difficult. The headings that lead you here are non-intuitive, and it's way to buried, and by changing the location of this function in each version of Chrome, there are all kinds of out-dated answers on the web.
