BrowserForge CookieSweep
03 Automatic cookie and site-data cleanup In development

CookieSweep

Leave a site, and its cookies leave with you.

CookieSweep deletes cookies and site data when you leave a site or close a tab, unless the site is on your whitelist. It understands partitioned cookies, clears localStorage, IndexedDB and cache alongside cookies, and keeps a local activity log so you can see exactly what was removed.

Add to Chrome soon Source

What it does

  1. 01
    Cleanup on leave or close

    When the last tab for a site closes, or after a configurable delay, its cookies and site data are removed.

  2. 02
    Whitelist and greylist

    Whitelisted sites are never cleaned. Greylisted sites keep their data until the browser restarts.

  3. 03
    More than cookies

    Clears localStorage, IndexedDB, cache and service worker registrations for the site, not just the cookie jar.

  4. 04
    Partitioned-cookie aware

    Handles cookies partitioned by top-level site (CHIPS) correctly, so embedded third-party state is cleaned with the site that created it.

  5. 05
    Activity log

    A local log of every cleanup: which site, what was removed, when. Nothing leaves your browser.

  6. 06
    Import from Cookie AutoDelete

    Import a Cookie AutoDelete settings and expression export and keep your whitelist, greylist and options.

Import from Cookie AutoDelete

CookieSweep reads Cookie AutoDelete settings and expression exports (.json). Export settings and expressions from Cookie AutoDelete, open CookieSweep, choose Import, pick the files. Whitelist and greylist entries and matching options are recreated. The files are parsed in your browser and never uploaded.

Cookie AutoDelete is a separate product by its own authors. CookieSweep is not affiliated with or endorsed by it; the name is used only to describe the file format CookieSweep can read.
