- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 10238505, 7 years agoThank goodness for this extension. Finally a way to "change your cookie settings at any time" like all the privacy notification popups tell you you can.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Milan, 7 years agoAmazing Addon. Great many thanks to the developer for this work.
Two suggestions:
1. Functionality: Ability to set default clean action in the pop up menu. Currently the default action of the clean button is to clear all cookies except whitelist, but the most used action is clearing cookies for the current domain. Could it be possible to let user select the default action of the button or set the default action as clear cookies from current domain.
1. Aesthetics: The logo improvement: The circular badge being of the same color as of the bin, it is not very clear especially when it shows as a little button in the firefox. My suggestion is to loose the circle and make the bin with lid and cookie as the logo. The Popup Menu Improvement: The width of the menu could be made smaller, and the color scheme of the buttons be more subtle, currently they are too strong colors. - Rated 5 out of 5by BladeNext, 7 years agoWorks as intended thanks i do not want useless cookie(s)...kj
- Rated 3 out of 5by jult, 7 years agoAfter having used many others I also tried this one for a couple of weeks, but it didn't do it for me. Especially the UI is confusing, enable/disable state is a gamble, you don't see what you're deleting. I ended up using Cookiebro instead, which is more intuitive, easier to whitelist cookies, easier to partly or temporarily black/whitelist cookies, separates sessions cookies, and most of all: You see the exact cookies that are active listed, and can choose to clear them all in one go, or tag the ones you prefer to stay etc. I'm really surprised to see so few are using Cookiebro and so many have picked this one. Cookiebro really beats this one. Easier on the eyes too.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14043873, 7 years agoA necessary security add-on that works well and as advertised. Before using, set up a whitelist or you will lose your cookies.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Francewhoa, 7 years agoSummary:
Love it. Easy. Automated. Confusing Blue Color.
Strength:
• Open source. If you are not familiar with "open source", it means this app is more secure. Because its code is publicly available for review and contributions on GitHub at https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete
• Attractive MIT License. This means the software code of this add-on app is owned and supported by a friendly not-for-profit community. Instead of a for-profit corporation. And more secure because its full code is publicly available for review.
• Easy to use. Using the button in the browser toolbar.
• Whitelist cookies. Very easy. Two clicks to whitelist a website.
• Frequent add-on updates
• “Automatic Cleaning” allow you to optionally automatically delete cookies from closed tabs after a set delay
• Export or import your whitelist of cookies expressions/rules
• Well documented
• Works with Firefox 52 or more recent
• Available for both Firefox/Tor Browser and Chromium/Chrome

• Internationalization (i18n)
• Many more features
Challenge:
• The color of the toolbar icon for whitelisted websites is blue. Which is confusing at start. Because for most extensions the color green is use for whitelisted websites. But after this initial learning curve, the user interface works fine.
• Can not edit cookies. But this can be done with other extensions which focused on software engineer and testing.
Using:
• Extension 2.2.0
• Firefox 52 (64-bit)
• Tor Browser 52 (64-bit)
• Debian 8 Jessie 64-bit
• GNOME 3.14.1 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13368081, 7 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12550056, 7 years agoNeed confirmation before cleaning. The risk of data loss can not be justified by "security".
I mean confirmation by pressing the "clear" button, after accidentally clicking on it instead of clicking on the arrow selection.Developer response
posted 7 years agoStartup cleanup happens when the extension reloads. So updates to the extension = reloading the extension. Thus triggering a cleanup on update that deletes greylisted cookies and various other unused cookies. Also, enabling "Clean Cookies from Open Tabs on Startup" will clean a lot more than you expect. In the future, I will see if this can be fixed. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14024800, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12367835, 7 years agoEasy to use. Allows you to protect cookies from sites you want to keep, like login sites. Deletes unprotected cookies shortly after viewing page or next browser opening. In the past I was manually deleting cookies every day. I don't like to be tracked.

- Rated 1 out of 5by christian93, 7 years agoUseless when you open consecutive sites on the same tab. You MUST close a tab to be effective. What about deleting cookies when a site is no longer active ?. That´s the trick.
