CookieGone does not collect, store, transmit, sell, or share any personal data or user data of any kind.
- Everything is local. A periodic background check looks for sites you no longer have open and deletes their cookies, entirely inside your browser. No browsing data, cookie data, or site list is ever sent to any server.
• What it stores locally: your keep-list, your settings, and a count of sites cleaned — saved with Chrome's own storage on your device. This is never transmitted.
• Cookies are only deleted, never read for any other purpose. The extension does not inspect cookie contents for analytics, profiling, or any reason other than removing them.
• Optional site-storage clearing (localStorage/IndexedDB) runs only if you turn it on, and only for the site whose last tab you closed. It requests the browsingData permission only at that point.
• No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking, no third parties.
Permissions are used solely to provide the feature:
- cookies — delete a site's cookies.
- tabs — know which sites still have an open tab (so an in-use site is never cleared); only the hostname is read.
- alarms — run the periodic cleanup check.
- storage — remember your keep-list, settings, and counter locally.
- host access (<all_urls>) — required for the Chrome cookies API to operate on the sites you close. Used only to delete cookies locally.
- browsingData (optional) — only if you enable extra storage clearing.
