Clear cookies for a specific site in Chrome
I use Chrome for most of my browsing needs. Occasionally I have an issue with one particular site that requires a login --- when I enter my username and password and hit "login", it responds like nothing happened. I know from experience that clearing my cookies resolves the issue for this particular site, but I hate clearing ALL my cookies and having to log in fresh to all the sites I visit frequently.
This happened again today and got me to wondering how I could clear a single cookie or all the cookies for a particular site. Is it possible to do without too much pain and hoop jumping? It is!!
I found this helpful Chrome support page, "Clear, enable, and manage cookies in Chrome": https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647 and I performed these steps:
- On your computer, open Chrome.
- At the top right, click More Settings.
- At the bottom, click Advanced.
- Under "Privacy and security," click Site settings.
- Click Cookies See all cookies and site data.
- At the top right, search for the website's name.
- To the right of the site, click Remove .
The Chrome support page also has detailed instructions for clearing all cookies and deleting cookies for a period of time, and includes instructions for PC, Android, and iPhone & iPad.
