CookieJar does not collect, store, transmit, sell, or share any personal data or user data of any kind.
- Everything is local. Exporting and importing cookies happens entirely inside your browser using Chrome's cookies API. No cookie data, browsing data, or file is ever sent to any server.
- The export file stays with you. When you export, the JSON file is saved to your computer via Chrome's downloads. The extension does not upload it or read it back. You decide where it goes.
- Imports are user-initiated. Cookies are written only from a file you explicitly choose to import.
- The extension stores nothing of its own beyond producing the file you requested — no accounts, no settings server, no analytics, no tracking, no third parties.
A note on sensitivity: a full cookie export contains your login/session tokens. Treat the file like a password — keep it private and store it securely. CookieJar never transmits it; protecting the file once it's on your disk is up to you.
Permissions are used solely to provide the feature:
- cookies — read cookies for export, write them on import.
- downloads — save the exported JSON file.
- host access (
<all_urls>) — required for the cookies API to read/write across sites. Used only locally.
