Cookie AutoDelete: Control and Auto-Delete Your Cookies

Cookie AutoDelete is a user-friendly Chrome extension dedicated to providing users greater control over their online data. The tool automatically deletes unwanted site data including cookies, indexedDB, localstorage, etc. from closed tabs. It features Whitelist and Greylist support, where users can specify the sites whose data they wish to preserve permanently (WhiteList) or until the browser is restarted (GreyList). It also supports manual cleaning and allows easy export or import of Whitelist/Greylist configurations. Note that it doesn't clean data automatically until the 'Auto-clean' setting is enabled.

Add the sites you want to keep site data in the WhiteList (permanently) or GreyList (until Browser restart)
Toggle "Auto-clean" in the popup or "Automatic cleaning" in the settings
Watch those unused site data disappear :)

You can disable Cleanup Notifications via the Settings.

User reviews

This seems to be the only extension I have come across that actually effectively performs this specific function, so, alongside it's thorough user control, it's a shame to see the recent appearances of the browser's 'loss of support' warning dialogue box. However I do now see in the overview text above that the developer themselves state that support may not be available for browser 'variants'... perhaps checking out their GitHub page will offer insight necessary for moving forward with their product despite aforementioned shenanigans.
