It seems that when in an incognito session with Google Chrome, you can't directly view the cookies, since going to the preferences, the non-incognito Chrome session is focused, and the settings page is displayed there. Naturally, none of the incognito-cookies are shown there.

Is there an easy way to take a look at the cookies set during an incognito session?

PS: I'm using OS X, if that makes a difference

You can find the cookies in the Developer Tools, in the Resources tab, even in an Incognito window.

Open them with:

  • F12 on Windows

  • ⌥⌘I on OS X

I don't think this is possible, as the purpose of incognito is to obscure cookies / history.

One potential solution would be to write an extension that logs cookies - and grant the extension access to incognito in the extension manager.

There are extensions that might already suit your needs. Have a look at the chrome add-ons websites – Alex Waters Aug 18 '11 at 11:00
