Where does Chrome store its cookie file?

39

Solution 1

You can find a solution on SuperUser :

Chrome cookies folder in Windows 7

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

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

Solution 2

We already have Mac OS X and Windows here, so I'll just add Linux for the benefit of web searchers.

You can find the cookies database at

~/.config/google-chrome/Default/

If you can find it there, I'll have you know that the ~/.config/ part comes from where you or your distribution have set the variable $XDG_CONFIG_HOME to point at.

Freedesktop.org, the standards body for this specification, recommends ~/.config/ to be the default and that's what distros follow.

Solution 3

For anyone who needs this on Mac OS X, the file is located at ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Cookies

Solution 4

To access Google Chrome cookies, in order to remove a specific one:

  • Click the button (3 horizontal bars, upper right of browser) to customize and control Google Chrome.
  • Select 'Settings'
  • scroll to bottom and select 'Show Advanced Settings...'
  • Under Privacy' click the 'Content Settings' button
  • Under 'Cookies' click the 'All cookies and site data...' button

This shows you a list of all site cookies, by site name.

    This is my first time using .NET so please excuse my ignorance.

    I'm trying to change the value of the class atribute in a HTML element, depending on some if/else statements, like so:

    @if (item.HasAir)
    {
        var icon = "fa fa-plane";
        var circleColour = "icon-bg-blue";
    }
    else if (item.HasCar)
    {
        var icon = "fa fa-car";
        var circleColour = "icon-bg-cyan";
    }
    
    <span class="icon-cirle @circleColour" aria-hidden="true">
        <span class="@icon"></span>
    </span>
    

    However when refreshing the page in my browser, I'm getting a Compilation Error:

    The name 'circleColour' does not exist in the current context

    Looking at the code above, can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong?

      Try the c:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cookies file.

      This is not a programming question; I've voted to move it to Super User.

      @TLama Please check my question, I've noted there that I've already tried the cookies file under this path and it is of no use

      Your icon and circleColor variables are scoped inside the if statements - that is, they are out of scope when you reference them in your HTML.

    I've noted in my question that I've already tried this path before and there is no SQLite DB under it

    Apologies, it seems that my confusion was due to using FireFox SQLite extension which didn't open files unless they have SQLite... I've tried use sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser and it opened the file :) Thanks for your help

    Note: If you have multiple Chrome profiles, that last folder ("Default") is your profile name, which can be found by typing "chrome://version" in browser and looking at last part of Profile Path.
