Important privacy notice:

  • No cookie information besides the name and domain name are stored inside FlagCookies to work, no values, no direct details.
  • No session data or details are stored or processed
  • No history of visited domains or websites or any other tracking is used.

Before you use this addon: This add-on is mainly aimed at power users, this might sound harsh, but it is not!

To get the most out of FlagCookies, you have to define either own cookie rules for websites and or make use of Global Flag, or Auto flag, or Profile mode(s). Also, in case you use payment services, be advised to disable the "Global flag" feature temporarily. For example when using Paypal or other shopping/payment provider websites and services.

Long story made short - Basic usage:

  1. Use Global mode if you are surfing, this will remove all kind of cookies while browsing the web if not protected by profile mode, or explicitly are set as protected.

  2. Use Auto flag which will remove all cookies for one website/domain - this can be useful if you only want to automatically remove these page cookies every time you browse this website.
