If you pay attention to your line business vie privée, you are probably quite particular about the cookies placed on your computer by the websites you visit. Cookies are small files that allow websites to remember certain information and preferences that are supposed to make your browsing easier and enable certain features.
Cookies created by the sites you visit (in theory) have an expiration date, but it doesn't hurt to occasionally clean house by deleting them from your browsers. But if you're even more demanding, AutoDelete cookie is a browser extension that will allow you to delete cookies deposited by a site when you close the tab with which you visited this site.
The beauty of this type of extension is that cookies are often essential for certain sites to function, so with this extension, cookies are allowed while you are browsing a site… and as soon as you leave, they are deleted! The settings screen gives you more precise control over when, if, and how cookies are deleted.
But that's not all, since Cookie AutoDelete offers other quite interesting features. Indeed, the extension allows you to create a whitelist of sites that you trust completely and whose cookies will not be deleted automatically. This whitelist can easily be exported and imported between different browsers or computers... no need to retype everything by hand if you use several devices or if you change machines.
Finally, it is also possible to delete all cookies for a specific domain using this tool!
So in conclusion, if you are more of the type to clean your cookies 3 times a day, this extension should simplify your life by doing the job automatically, throughout the day.
Congratulations on your attention to spelling.
Thank you!
