Chrome cookies folder in Windows 7

Question

Where does Google Chrome store its cookies when running on Windows 7?

Answer 1

It's at the following location:

C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\

You'll need a program like SQLite Database Browser to read it.

Answer 2

In Chrome go to:

Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Privacy > Content Settings > Cookies > All Cookies and Site Data

Or simply:

chrome://settings/cookies

In addition to the location Sharon posted, Chrome also stores cookies at this location

C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Storage

Answer 3

Chrome doesn't store cookies in separate text files in a cookies-directory like in IE; It stores all of the cookies together in a single file in the profile folder like Firefox. However, unlike Firefox, it does not use a plain-text file that can easily be edited; rather it stores them in an SQLite3 database in a file called—surprise, surprise—Cookies in the User Data directory (e.g., %localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cookies).

You can use an SQLite editor to view or modify the cookies, but it is probably easier to just use the built-in editor at chrome://chrome/settings/cookies.
