I need fine grained, automated cookie controls I have tried these addons
Cookie Manager Cookie Quick Manager Cookie AutoDelete
And the problem is always the same.
It is TOO DIFFICULT to only have one exception for one cookie in one account container
Creating containers for every single website is also extremely tedious and buggy.
And deleting all cookies all the time, means I am re-logging in into everything all the time, often a 5 to 10 step process not counting 2 factor and it is VERY annoying
i use cookie autodelete and the containers for the websites i that i know are harvesting/selling my data.
it works well for me so it makes me wonder how it’s tedious or buggy for you,
I second this. Can be set to deletes cookies on XYZ (any or all) domain after ABC seconds after tab close.
i’m struggling to understand your exact needs, but i’m honestly surprised cookie auto delete can’t do it.
could you explain exactly what you’re trying to accomplish? and the wall you hit with cookie auto delete to do it?
Imagine website example.com
example.com, has a overly tedious login process, with a separate pageload for the username/email and then for the password, and then the second factor and then a captcha.
Worse, I have a different example.com account for their service A, their service B and their service C
Currently, every time I restart my browser, I have to go into each account container, load example.com, login into each of the containers
Every, single, browser restart
I don’t know what the session cookies for example.com are named or if they change
I cannot really avoid using example.com, but I also don’t like them, they are a fundamental part of my workflow, they have no real competitors as they have all driven them out of business thanks to their growth hacking blitzscaling strategy.
I want to, as far as possible, delete all their cookies on an ongoing basis, except for the session cookies, not even just after browser restart but after a period of inactivity as well.
My guess is that op wants to delete all cookies except the ones that maintain login etc
Hi, I try to have something a bit like you.
I use temporary-containers with the firefox multi-account-containers and it’s working pretty well!
And of course I delete cookies when a container is close.
Hope that’s help :)
And this allows you to keep the session cookies only, only in the specified containers, even after restarting the browser ? If so can you explain how you keep the session cookies and how did you create per-container per-cookie whitelist to preserve only the session cookies or a single website ?
Hi, actually I don’t think that’s possible!
But I see that you have a lot of answers :)
It seems that cookie autodelete will do it, per cookie and per container, still in the trial phase but it looks like it’s going to work !
