To delete cookies for one site in Chrome, click More > Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies > See all site data and permissions, search for the site, and select Delete next to it. To clear cookies automatically every time you close Chrome, choose Delete data sites have saved to your device when you close all windows in the on-device site data settings.
These steps follow Google’s Delete, allow, and manage cookies in Chrome and Learn about on-device site data in Chrome help pages.
How to Delete Individual Cookies in Google Chrome
- Open Chrome on your computer.
- At the top right, select the three-dot More menu, then Settings.
- Select Privacy and security > Third-party cookies.
- Select See all site data and permissions.
- At the top right, search for the website’s name.
- To the right of the site, select Delete, then select Delete again to confirm.
Result: Chrome removes the cookies and site data for that site only. If a site fails because cookies are blocked rather than stale, see how to enable cookies in Chrome. Google warns that you may get signed out of sites that remember you, and your saved preferences for that site can be deleted too. You can also reach the site list by typing chrome://settings/content/all in the address bar.
Delete a Site’s Cookies From the Address Bar
Google says you can also start from the site itself: while you’re on the page, select View site information to the left of the address bar, then Cookies and site data > Manage on-device site data. A similar route goes through Site settings and a Clear data button.
How to Delete Cookies for One Site on Android
- Open Chrome on your Android device and go to the website.
- At the top left of the address bar, tap Page info > Cookies and site data.
- Next to the stored data, tap Delete.
Result: Google says that removes that site’s stored data on your phone. Cookies don’t sync between devices, so clearing them on your computer doesn’t clear them on your phone, and that Chrome on iPhone only offers clearing all browsing data, not one site.
How to Clear Cookies When You Close Chrome
- Select More > Settings.
- Select Privacy and security > Site settings.
- Select Additional content settings > On-device site data.
- Choose Delete data sites have saved to your device when you close all windows.
Result: Google says sites will probably still work as expected but are less likely to remember you from one visit to the next.
How to Delete All Cookies
- Select More > Delete browsing data.
- Choose a time range, like Last hour or All time.
- Select Cookies and other site data, plus anything else you want to remove.
- Select Delete data.
Google adds that to sign out of your Google Account on all websites, you should sign out of Chrome.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between first-party and third-party cookies?
Google says first-party cookies are created by the site shown in the address bar, while third-party cookies come from other sites whose content, like ads or images, is embedded in the page. Third-party cookies can be used to learn about your activity across sites.
Can I let one site use third-party cookies when they’re blocked?
Yes. Google says to go to Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies, select Add under “Sites allowed to use third-party cookies,” enter the web address, and select Add. Sites on that list can use third-party cookies in both regular and Incognito browsing.
