Easy way to access cookies in Chrome

Question

To view specific cookies in Chrome, currently I have to:

1. Go to preferences
2. Click Under the Hood tab
3. Click Content Settings... button
4. Click Cookies tab (if it's not already active)
5. Click Show cookies and other site data... button

If I want to narrow this down to a specific domain, I have to type it in, too.

---

Compare this to Firefox:

1. View Page Info
2. Click Security tab
3. Click View Cookies

The domain for the page I'm currently on is already used as a filter, too.

My question:

Is there an easier way in Chrome? I've done some searching for an extension but have come up with nothing.

Answer 1

You can view cookies related to current website by right-click -> Inspect Element -> Storage -> Cookies.

Answer 2

Chrome has changed things a little with their developer tools. The proper procedure for Chrome 11 is:

1. Right click --> Inspect Element.
2. Click the Resources tab.
3. In the left pane, scroll down and click Cookies.
4. You may have to expand Cookies (click the little arrow next to it), and click the domain of the site you are currently on to see its cookies.

Answer 3

Quicker, use this chrome extension: Edit This Cookie

Answer 4

You can bookmark chrome://settings/cookies to go right to the cookies window. You still have to use the search box or scroll if you just want just cookies for the current page.

As Matthieu and Tapkin said, there's an extension. Actually, there are lots of extensions for this now. Pick one with very good ratings whose publisher looks legit, if you feel trusting.

Answer 5

Probably, the best choice is to use external cookie viewers. Such as ChromeCookiesView or CookieSpy. They both allow view/delete cookies of Google Chrome.

Answer 6

As of Chrome 105 / 2022-09-20 (or probably earlier), the procedure has changed again. You now bring up the DevTools window or pane (Ctrl+Shift+I or "Inspect" from the right-click context menu), choose the "Application" tab, and in the "Storage" section at the left-hand side will be a "Cookies" subsection with a list of sites under it:

There is also a very nice "Cookies in use" dialogue box that lists both allowed and blocked cookies and allows you easily to add domains to the allow and block lists. However, as noted in that question, this appears to be accessible only when you're blocking (some?) cookies from that site.
