Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Cookie Auto Delete is an extension that helps you quickly erase cookies for a tab when it closes (Tab-Only mode). Moreover, you can set the addon to remove cookies for all tabs when the browser is closed (Session-Only mode).

The toolbar icon serves as an ON|OFF switch to quickly turn the addon ON or OFF. This addon can potentially improve your privacy as it deletes cookies (and most importantly third-party cookies) which are used to track user's behavior across multiple websites. Please note that, if you want to switch modes, open the addon options and mark the desired option. Moreover, this addon has a whitelisting tool to easily exclude a domain from Cookie Auto Delete. Simply add a domain comma separate to the designated area on the options page.

Note: this extension is made in collaboration with the author of Cookie Switch ON|OFF (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cookie-switch-onoff/okclohaghlaedgghhngcenaandmajmmk)

タブを閉じてもそのタブが受け入れたCookieを消去できていません。

Doesn't work. Have had it installed for 10 days - set to delete cookies on tab close. Just checked chrome://settings/content/all?search=cookies and Chrome is still full of cookies. Shame as I really thought this was the extension I have been looking for for ages.

It does what it says, but there is too much friction to use it. Having to manually type each entry on the whitelist is a pain. Why not using a right click > whitelist site?
