How can I delete cookies for a specific site in Chrome in Android?
I can see 'Settings' -> 'Privacy' -> 'CLEAR BROWSING DATA', but that will clear my browsing info for all sites. I can also see under 'Settings' -> 'Site settings', there is an option to select 'All sites' and then pick a specific site. However, the site that has a cookie that I want to delete is not...
I can see 'Settings' -> 'Privacy' -> 'CLEAR BROWSING DATA', but that will clear my browsing info for all sites. I can also see under 'Settings' -> 'Site settings', there is an option to select 'All sites' and then pick a specific site. However, the site that has a cookie that I want to delete is not in that list (perhaps that list is only sites that have more than just cookies set?). I also tried navigating to chrome://settings/cookies (which works in the desktop browser), but this doesn't work in the mobile browser.

How can I clear individual cookies on Firefox?

For a specific website, I clicked on "Show desktop version" link. Unfortunately the desktop version is so broken I cannot use it even to click on "Mobile version" link. Because the website remembers the setting using cookies, I need to clear that specific cookie to get mobile version of the website back. When I use "Guest mode" in Firefox, the website works which confirms my hypothesis that cookie causes my problems. Therefore the question: How to delete one specific cookie in Firefox on Android? I tried installing some plugins, but all I got was "Installation failed" toast message on screen.

How supercookies works in Android?

I would like to know if there is a cookie pool where several companies can query within Android so that it can store supercookie. Or if it is site specific. The foundation of this question was an event that occurred when I was talking about citizenship on Whatsup and, out of nowhere, suggestions for advertisements on Twitter about citizenship appeared. I question how Twitter manages to capture the content of a conversation on Whatsup if they are not the same companies. Note: I use twitter via the progressive web-app and not the app.

Android Chrome cookies all suddenly disappeared
This morning all the cookies seem to have disappeared from Chrome on my 'phone. When I log in again they stay, so it's not a bug or settings problem I think.

How to hide cookie warnings in Chrome for Android?
On Chrome for desktop I use the extension "[I Don't Care About Cookies][1]" to hide [cookie warnings][2] that I personally don't care for. I'd like to do something similar in Chrome for Android.

On Chrome for desktop I use the extension "I Don't Care About Cookies " to hide cookie warnings that I personally don't care for. I'd like to do something similar in Chrome for Android. I've tried searching around for a way to do it, but nothing has come up so far. I have root and Xposed Framework so I wonder if some adblocker that uses those may have some list I can add to block at least some of the most widespread templates for cookie warnings. Or there may be some other way to do it. My phone runs Nougat and the latest stable version of Chrome.

Import Cookies from Google Chrome Mobile to another Mobile browser
I would like to know that is there anyway I can import cookies from Android version of Google Chrome to any other mobile browser (on the same device)? Just like when we install Firefox/Opera/Chrome on PC, they ask you to import cookies and stuff from other browsers.

I have a fresh Android 5.1 phone with two separate Google accounts already configured. I just started up the Android Browser and got a confirmation dialog about whether I want to allow Google to use SID and LSID cookies. The popup also referred some kind of Terms and Services document, but wasn't too specific about it. Didn't do anything about it, just went back to the home screen. On second browser startup, the original confirm dialog was replaced by a popup showing an hourglass animation, and some status message about Google authentication being in progress. On third browser startup, it just navigated to the factory default homepage. Questions: 1. What exact permissions did the browser / Google request on the first startup? What are the pros/cons for accepting / rejecting access? (I don't really know what a SID/LSID cookies are for, so please be verbose.) 2. Is there a way to change my mind later on? Where should I look for this configuration option? 3. Why did the confirmation dialog not show up on the second and third browser startups? (Note: someone asked question 1. on the AndroidCentral forum 4 years ago, no answers received as of yet... )

What are the privacy implications of apps that use Android System WebView?

From what I've researched, Android System WebView supports cookies and HTML5 local storage. When do those cookies and local storage items get cleared? For example, Samsung Messenger (Samsung's default SMS app) uses WebView to load web links (even in Android Nougat). If the loaded web page generates cookies and HTML5 local storage items, will those items be available: 1. to every web page loaded within Samsung Messenger during that session? 1. to every web page loaded within Samsung Messenger during later Messenger sessions? 1. to other apps that use WebView?

Running Chrome 60.0.3112.116 on Android 7.1.1 I tried to remove _all_ cookies from the browser using the Clear Data button provided in Advanced tab of Chrome's Privacy Settings (selected All Time to make sure to delete all stored cookies). However, the cookies section in the Advanced tab showed about 30 cookies before clicking on Clear Data and I had 23 left after deleting the cookies. Since some cookies can be deleted while the browser closes I quit Chrome and went back to Settings, giving me the same 23 cookies left. I am a bit surprised about that fact since I thought clearing all data actually means that all stored data (including all cookies) is being removed, which in fact obviously does not seem to be true. Since I am using Google News App and allowed to open web content inside the GMail App I think those 23 left cookies might come from those two apps since those apps should be based upon the system-built-in version of Chrome, but I am not sure and unable to proof this assumption. In order to make sure that this is not a somehow other related problem, I went to Apps of Android Settings and cleared Chrome's cache which does not result in any changes. However, Clear All Data via the Manage Space option does delete the cookies hence resetting Chrome to its initial state. Is there any way to really remove all cookies from Chrome without resetting Chrome via Android Settings as described above? Do you have any suggestions where those 'additional' cookies come from?

How to enable cookies and JavaScript on an android phone?
While trying to login my Hackerearth account it put up a disclaimer that my cookies are disabled.Plus many times,many web pages tell me the same thing,and yeah,also ask me to enable JavaScript on my phone. I own an HTC desire 620g.Unsure if that was necessary though
