Cookies Cleaner Apps and Alternatives

Unlike the tasty kind of cookies we all know and love, HTTP cookies are normally seen as malicious, even though this is usually not the case. Nevertheless, there are plenty of reasons to remove them, and lots of applications and extensions that can help you out.

More often than not, cookies are just designed to improve the user's browsing experience by remembering certain actions and settings so that they will not need to be performed or configured again when revisiting the page.

Tracking cookies, however, often store non-essential information about users and their browsing habits, which can be used form targetted advertising. Not surprisingly, many people prefer not to have their information shared in this manner.

The applications and extensions on this list enable you to remove these cookies from your computer, either by performing a file search or directly from your browser. What's more, some extensions can even delete cookies automatically.
