Clearing Cookie Junk in Google Chrome Web Browser
Original post is here eklausmeier.goip.de/blog/2013/10-20-clearing-cookie-junk-in-google-chrome-web-browser.
From time to time I check what I have collected as cookies in my browser and I spot web sites which I probably have never visited directly but somehow set cookies. Instead of deleting them individually I now use sqlite3
to do this.
cd ~/.config/google-chrome/Default
sqlite3 Cookies "delete from cookies
where host_key not like '%google%'
and host_key not like '%facebook%'
and host_key not like '%wordpress%'
and host_key not like '%tumblr.com'
and host_key not like '%github%'
and host_key not like '%youtube%'
and host_key not like '%wikipedia%'
and host_key not like '%twitter%' ;"
This leaves the "good" cookies intact but removes the junk.
Deleting "local storage" is even simpler.
cd "~/.config/google-chrome/Default/"
rm -rf "Local Storage"
