- Rated 2 out of 5by CJ, 9 months agoI'd like to love this in principle, as it would be far superior to Firefox's built-in cookie management options. In practice, the add-on is selective and unreliable in the cookies it deletes. I've followed some of the recommended troubleshooting via the FAQ, including add-on reset and turning off other cookie related add-ons, but the end result is still not good. As I'm not willing to sink more hours into community troubleshooting, I have to uninstall this disappointed.

There is also an issue where whitelisting may not work for local storage:

I wrote this because users may not notice these problems and think that everything is working properly. - Rated 2 out of 5by Delovane, a year ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Termie , 2 years agoevery few days, all allegedly protected cookies incl. stored/key'ed-in site data, log-in's etc. get nevertheless erased completely.
[𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲] This seems to be solved for now after I´ve inserted URLs whose cookies this add-on wanna allegedly protect by itself, additionally in Firefox/Privacy&Security/Cookies-and-Site-Data/Manage-Exceptions. Nevertheless this add-on is anything but thoroughly with cleaning. Although "Automatical Cleaning" is enabled, and clicking "Clean now" at the end of an online-session, e.g. CCleaner (with it´s own "keep cookies" exception list ofc) nevertheless finds 150+ cookies to erase. So sadly not convinced of this add-on, looking for an alternative now.Developer response

[Reponse to Update] - we are aware about the additional cookies that we are now able to access and clean up since Firefox 94, and will be able to remove those in a future update. Also note that CCleaner may find additional items that we cannot detect through the WebExtension API. This is out of our hands unfortunately. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15679601, 2 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17037858, 2 years agoIsn't automatically deleting cookies no matter what settings I use.

posted 2 years agoEnsure that your Firefox setting is using either the standard protection or custom with cookies not set to cross-site cookies (cross-site tracking should be fine). For further assistance, please visit our GitHub repository for support. Support for cross-site cookies option is coming soon (needs to be implemented through Firefox webextension API first). - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13094145, 2 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by sheesh, 2 years agoDeletes all my saved logins as well each time, including Google, Linkedin, Instagram, Reddit, etc. Dissapointed.

posted 2 years agoWebextensions do not have the capability to detect saved logins, so all sites must be manually configured in settings or during browsing through the toolbar icon. This is not a limitation of this webextension but Firefox's Webextension API. - Rated 2 out of 5by RonnieBoy, 3 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14782888, 4 years agoCookie Auto Delete is great at auto deleting your cookies but on the down side, when your cookies get deleted I found that if you are using a google service and your cookies get deleted it automatically signs you out. So that is why I'm giving 2 stars.

posted 3 years agoThen you'll need to whitelist that domain or exclude that specific cookie on that domain from being removed. It is up to each site to handle how their cookies are maintained /used. Developer response
posted 3 years agoIf you're looking for legacy extensions use Self-Destructing Cookies.- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13464681, 6 years agoUI too complicated. What was wrong with Self-destructing Cookies UI? So simple.
Too many concepts, too many buttons. The original three "keep never", "keep for session", "keep forever" concept was simple and perfect.
I don't even know what to do with all these buttons and controls. I don't want to make a career out of this, just a simple way to enable session or forever cookies for the sites I choose. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13450371, 6 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13328465, 6 years agoEven if you set it to delete all cookies after closing of forefox: many cookies are still there, e.g. some from google or wetteronline.de. Self-Destructing Cookies was much better. To bad it will no longer maintained.
