A cookie, and browser storage manager with cow powers. Gives the ability to flag and set rules explicitly for cookies, also third-party cookies, cross origin, and secure cookies aswell as browser storage management and clearing.
Domain.net and subdomain.Domain.net can have individual rights. Providing several modes to set rules on cookies and keeping a cookie profile, while being logged in in a website or service.
- No cookie information besides the name and domain name are stored inside FlagCookies to work, no values, no direct details.
- No session data or details are stored or processed
- No history of visited domains or websies or any other tracking is used.
This add-on is mainly aimed at power users, this might sound harsh, but it is realy not!
To get the most out of FlagCookies, you define cookie rules for websites or make use of Global Flag, or Auto flag, Profile modes.
In case you use payment services/providers, disable the "Global flag" feature temporarily. For example when using Paypal or other shopping/payment services or providers.
- Use
Global modeif you are surfing, this will remove all kind of cookies while browsing the web if not protected byprofilemode. - Use
Auto flagwhich will remove all cookies for one website/domain - this can be useful if you only want to automatically remove these page cookies every time you browse this website. - Use
Profile modeeither globally for a website, protecting all cookies of that domain if no cookies are picked as profile cookies. Or protect single cookies even whenGlobal flagorAuto flagmodes are active. Click / Flagand set rules for each cookie individually, works together with the other modes.
A recent version of possibly any Chrome browser, Firefox, Opera, Edge or Brave browser(s). Please note, there is no mobile version of FlagCookies.
FlagCookies distinguishes between http(s)://domain.net and http(s)://subdomain.domain.net for the following features:
- Detects and displays stored browser cookies, storage data, and be able to manage (flag) and delete those while browsing, either automatically through global or auto flag mode or by explicit decision
- Flag cookies either to be explicitly deleted even without global or auto flag mode or set them to be permitted or protected from removal by global or auto flag modes
- Profile mode for a domain or cookies - to switch between logged into a website/service and not logged in modes in order to remove or keep cookies on demand
- Auto flag mode only affecting this particular (sub)domain, removing every domain cookie which is not permitted or used as profile cookie, this also includes third-party and cross origin cookies.

As of version 3.0.27 translations can be done of Flag Cookies.
FlagCookies is also now translateable on Transifex at the flagCookies project page.
All translations are located inside _locales/ folder - and the folders en for general English, as well as de for German language. Inside every folder is a messages.json located. This file holds all translations for the interface. To create a new language, for example French, use fr as code. So it ends up to everything French language related inside _locales/fr/messages.json. To add another layer of help copy the help.html from the en directory to fr/help.html - when everything is done, the changes will be visible when reloading the addon.
