Self-Destructing Cookies

What is Self-Destructing Cookies?

Self-Destructing Cookies is a groundbreaking browser extension that fundamentally reshapes the traditional approach to managing cookies and other web storage. Departing from conventional cookie managers, this innovative solution takes a proactive stance in safeguarding user privacy by automatically removing cookies, local storage, and other tracking mechanisms as soon as their associated browser tabs are closed

Highlights

• Automatic Removal: Cookies, sessions, and tracking data are expunged immediately upon closing the corresponding browser tabs, preventing lingering data from being used to spy on users
• Tracking Protection: Tracking cookies are detected and removed based on their behavior, without relying on outdated blacklists, ensuring comprehensive protection against conventional and emerging tracking methods
• Local Storage Management: The extension treats local storage in the same manner as cookies, eradicating this potential avenue for persistent tracking
• Cache Cleansing: Users can configure the extension to automatically clear their browser cache when they are no longer actively using the browser, guarding against cache-based tracking techniques like ETag
• Zombie Cookie Defense: Self-Destructing Cookies offers a realistic solution to combat the scourge of zombie and evercookies, restoring users' control over their online footprint without sacrificing usability
• CSRF Protection: The extension can help safeguard against CSRF attacks by terminating user sessions as soon as the corresponding tabs are closed
• Whitelist Support: Users can selectively whitelist trusted services, allowing their cookies and local storage to persist without an active tab, while maintaining the extension's protective measures for all other websites.
