How to Delete Individual Cookies in Google Chrome

Chrome’s built-in controls let you delete stored data for a website without clearing it for every site. Here are the desktop and Android steps and what deletion affects.

In desktop Chrome, you can delete the stored site data for one website without clearing it for every website. The documented method removes data for the whole site; it does not provide a way to pick one cookie by name and keep that site’s other data. On Android, Chrome offers a separate site-level option from the page information menu.

Delete a website’s cookies in desktop Chrome

  1. Open Chrome and select More > Settings.

  2. Select Privacy and security > Third-party cookies.

  3. Select See all site data and permissions.

  4. Use the search field at the top right to find the website.

This removes stored data for the selected website, rather than one individually named cookie. If your Chrome menu labels differ, open Settings and search for “site data and permissions.” Google’s desktop Chrome cookie instructions describe this site-level workflow.

Delete site data in Chrome on Android

  1. Open the website in Chrome.

  2. Tap the page information icon beside the address bar.

  3. Open Cookies and site data.

  4. Tap Delete beside the stored data.

This Android route also deletes data for the site, not just one cookie by name. See Google’s Android Chrome instructions.

What happens when you delete a site’s data?

Google cautions that deleting cookies may sign you out of sites that remember you, and saved preferences may also be deleted. The site may therefore behave as if you are visiting it for the first time.

Site data is broader than cookies: Chrome’s browsing-data guide also describes storage such as Web Storage and Indexed Database data. Saved passwords are listed as a separate category, so deleting a site’s cookies does not by itself mean deleting saved passwords. See Google’s guide to deleting browsing data in desktop Chrome.

What if you use Chrome on iPhone or iPad?

The desktop steps above are not a verified iPhone or iPad procedure. Google’s documented material for this guide does not establish an equivalent single-site deletion route for iOS, so check current Chrome iOS help rather than assuming the desktop menus apply.
