Delete selective cookies in Google Chrome browser

Google Chrome allows you to selectively remove cookies if you want to. This would be particularly helpful if you are into web development and wanted to selectively remove cookies for your website for testing purposes. Follow these steps to selectively remove cookies on your Google Chrome browser,

Step-1:

Launch Google Chrome browser.

Step-2:

Click on the “Tools” menu (the wrench icon on the top right) and then click on “Options…”.

Step-3:

Once the dialog comes up go into the “Under the Hood” tab.

Step-4:

Scroll down to the “Security” section and then under the “Cookie Settings:” section click on the ‘”Show Cookies” button.

Step-5:

Chrome will popup a Cookies dialog and will list all the cookies stored on your computer. Click on the cookies that you want to remove and then click on the “Remove” button. You can hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple cookies or if you want remove all the cookies then you can click on the “Remove All” button (don’t do this unless you are sure you want to clear off all the cookies).

Step-6:

Click the Close button on the Cookies dialog as well as on the “Google Chrome Options” dialog.

Now, the cookies that you have removed will not be available on your system anymore. Of course, they’ll come back when you visit the web site again.

To restrict those third-party cookies, on the “Google Chrome Options” dialog, under the “Security” section and under the “Cookie Settings"” section click the dropdown to change to “Restrict how third-party cookies can be used”.

If you want to block all cookies from getting to your system you can change the dropdown value to “Block all cookies”.

    TheGeek, very nice. But I’m looking for a universal solution for all browsers. I found a very fine program which can do that but it is not portable – History Killer Pro (http://www.historykillerpro.com/).
    Any ideas?

    Seems to be a decent program if you can fork out ~$25 USD. Also, I’m not sure how they keep up on the new exploits.

    This method gives you an opportunity to clean the individual cookie, but in some cases deleting those cookies do not guarantee deletion of that website-related info. For comprehensiveness, the most convenient way is using – History Killer Pro features . Cross, you're right!
