- Rated 5 out of 5by Montgomery Minds, 7 years agoI would like to keep my bank's main cookies, but not the ads and trackers from that bank's website. Ie cookie-granularity whitelist/protect.
But, all in all, nice solution that does 90% of what I want.
Thanks!
UPDATE: Thanks for the quick response. I think I meant 3rd party Ad cookies from my bank websites, but honestly I am not sure. Regardless, after using this addon for 1 day, ALL my Ad tracking cookies are gone. I have only 17 domains of cookies right now--only open tabs and whitelisted sites. No Ad cookies. Maybe trackers from my bank from their own domain remain, I dont know.
But, still, does >=99% of what I want.
Upgrading to 5 stars.Developer response
posted 7 years agoDepends on the hostname of the ads and trackers.
You can turn off subdomain checking in the settings to enable more granularity, which is probably what you want. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13177532, 7 years agoThis is a very great WebExtension cookie manager for desktop, but please add support for Android! At the moment you can install this addon on mobile devices but you cannot access it's settings, you can't event turn on active mode!

The downside is you have to be using 56+ in order to access the settings. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12609462, 7 years agoGreat idea, my only suggestion so far it's the icon, I find distracting and intrusive the red colour that you chose as a notification. Ideally I'd like a color what matches with the adblock origin icon, I'd like to have them working together as a team!
Anyways, fantastic job and thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5by Wok, 7 years agoThis is this addon. A good replacement for SDC and Cookies Exterminator.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Phil, 8 years agoIn Firefox 54 - Something changed beginning with v1.4.0, it doesn't seem to do a complete cookie cleanup at startup. Many cookies that aren't on the whitelist remain until I manual force a Cookie Cleanup. I greatly desire an option for a complete cookie cleanup to happen on every Firefox startup.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13141682, 8 years agoThank you very much for that nice add-on.
But I think sites which are listed on the exceptions list with "allow" should be auto whitelisted!
EDIT:
Thanks for the quick response! Briefly looked at the issue and to summarize, the WebExtension API is missing a method to implement that currently; so the advantage of the future-proof developemnt is kind of a disadvantege atm.
Thanks,

https://github.com/mrdokenny/Cookie-AutoDelete/issues/43 - Rated 4 out of 5by Thomas, 8 years agoGood to see a e10s and FX57 proof addon to get rid of those pesky cookies. Only downsides in my eyes:
* doesn't clean LocalStorage (known issue with Firefox).
* it doesn't seem to auto-remove cookies when browsing to a different domain (but only on tab-close, active mode is on).
* all cookies are cleared on browser restart (even though some tabs are still open/active, is it considered a new session?).
I will correct if I made any mistakes.Developer response
posted 8 years ago1. Mozilla is still working on it
2. It's possible to add that but it might break some sites where people set their delay to 0, so it's safer to do it on tab close (with a delay).
3. Browser Start up cleanup only cleans unused cookies (normal Cookie Cleanup) + GreyList cookies, unless you enabled "Clean Cookies from Open Tabs on StartUp", then it's (normal Cookie Cleanup) + GreyList cookies + Open Tab Cookies.
Come make a new issue on GitHub if you need help. - Rated 4 out of 5by opini0n, 8 years agoI'm on windows 7, and cookies get deleted only when in "no container" tabs. No notifications coming up when in container tabs. And I checked out the cookies in options panel, and cookies from those websites are not deleted. pls fix, thanks for the addon.
Developer response
posted 8 years agoI encountered that problem and the solution is to restart the browser when you enable Container Mode.

https://github.com/mrdokenny/Cookie-AutoDelete/issues/41 - Rated 4 out of 5by T, 8 years agoSeems to be comparable to self-destructing cookies. Has most of the same functionality and will survive the FF 57 Sstorm and supports multi-processing. However, I'm not sure it participates in the Mozilla Sync which presents a problem of having to duplicate White Lists between machines.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13058745, 8 years agoIt is nice to see a WebExtensions and e10s ready successor to SDC. As of today, the developer is prompt to get to issues on GitHub. Hopefully with time, it will match all the features of SDC and Beyond!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13101129, 8 years agogreat addon. i switching from self-destruction, and i like it. this addon dont clear my white list, support multiprocessing, so is better.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 5621020, 8 years agoGreat Addon, with miltiprocess support. I am switching from Self-Destructing Cookies, because of this
- Rated 5 out of 5by Dr@g0n, 8 years agoPros:
- Works as expected.
- WebExtensions version
- Multiprocess e10s support
Cons:
No proper LocalStorage support in WebExtensions API so there is no LocalStorage cleanup for now.
Great job. Thanks. - Rated 5 out of 5by Tristan, 8 years agoThis add-on is essentially a WebExtension version of the Self Destructing Cookies add-on. Whitelist cookies you want, and the rest are deleted when they aren't being used! The only difference as of now is that the WebExtension API doesn't have proper LocalStorage support, so this add-on can't clear that yet.
Thank you SO much Kenny Do for doing this! You have no idea how much this means to me, and all the other 200,000+ users of SDC! I know a little JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS, and I was almost desperately trying to learn WebExtension so I could do a rewrite myself. I'm so glad someone smarter than me took the time to do this.
Thanks again! You're awesome!Developer response
posted 8 years agoThanks buddy. It took me about 2 months even with leveraging some code of my other extension: History AutoDelete. So I'm happy that others appreciate my work. ;) - Rated 4 out of 5by Maou, 8 years agoThanks to Mozilla killing extensions season, might as well start testing web extensions...
About cookie auto delete: It does most of what I needed from a cookie manager, easy to use, light on resources.
The developer's done a good job here, no complains from my part. - Rated 5 out of 5by noname, 8 years agoi like this add on a lot, but active mode 1 minute take too long, please can make its faster
Developer response
posted 8 years ago- The delay is in minutes because timers in Chrome are allowed to fire once per minute. This limitation doesn't exist with Firefox, so theoretically you could set a lower delay value by typing in .1 (which is 6 seconds) or even 0 for instant cleanup after tab close. Remember to save afterward! - Rated 4 out of 5by U64, 8 years agoA WebExtension version (in essence) of the ever-popular Self Destructing Cookies and the better-but-not-as-popular Cookies Exterminator. My only suggestion -- which is found in CE -- is a "greylist" feature, for cookies that best remain until the browser is closed. I don't like having the cookies cleared, say, every three hours (every five minutes tops), but I don't like being perma-logged in for certain things (such as email, or banks, or government pages with logins and odd redirects that are so slow that the cookies get cleaned right there and then and I get basically kicked out midway through checking and paying for my water bills THANK YOU GOVERNMENT).
Can't wait for a Fennec version once the appropriate things are ready over there (APIs, no?). - Rated 5 out of 5by Taurean, 8 years agoAn excellent replacement for Self Destructing Cookies! I was worried about when it'd stop working.
Suggestion: Please implement an option in whitelist for subdomains. - Rated 5 out of 5by ondondil, 8 years agoFinally a good replacement for SDC that is compatible with WebExtensions. Thank you!
