Developer Cookie

Developer Cookie

Set a cookie to tell your websites that you're a developer. Use with Google Analytics to avoid tracking internal traffic.

What is Developer Cookie?
Developer Cookie is a Chrome extension that allows website developers to mark themselves as such on any domain, via a cookie. This indication can be used in scripts to conditionally alter site behavior, such as excluding internal traffic from Google Analytics tracking, displaying additional debug information, or viewing a control panel. The extension uniquely identifies the developer or team within a domain, manages and maintains the cookie's lifecycle, and applies the developer status across all pages of the domain.

Summary

From any website, simply click on the Developer Cookie Icon in your browser to set yourself as a developer/team member for that domain. Green means that you are a developer and that cookies will be set for this domain, gray means you are not. This preference is saved and this extension will try to always keep a cookie set for that domain.

The "name" and "value" of the cookie that gets created can (and should) be customized to be unique to you or your organization.

A list of all of your active domains can be found on the Options page, where domains can be easily added or removed as needed. There is also a button here to clear any cookies that have been saved on your device. Right-click the Developer Cookie Icon in your browser and select "Options" to access this page any time. Alternatively, you can find a link to this page in your Extensions manager.
