I use CookieAutoDelete https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cookie-autodelete/fhcgjolkccmbidfldomjliifgaodjagh/ with Brave browser (Based on Chrome) to manage cookies without any issues. Other extensions I use are Privacy Badger, Privacy Possum, Decentraleyes, HTTPS Everywhere and Ublock Origin.

I use this script, saved as an app, to always start Chrome in Incognito mode
Incognito mode:
Code:
do shell script "open -a /Applications/Google\\ Chrome.app --args -incognito"Incognito mode:
For cookie management, I use the app Cookie. It allows you to whitelist cookies you want to keep and automatically delete the rest.
Cookie — Privacy & Cookie Manager for Mac
Automatically remove tracking cookies, history and cache from every browser on your Mac — on your own schedule.cookieapp.com
The app Cookie I mentioned to you in the other thread also works with Chrome.

It does? Well, that's nice to hear. I assumed that most cookie or adblocking apps wouldn't work with chrome because chrome is made by a company that relies an ad revenue.
Yep... works fine in Chrome. Here is a list of browsers Cookie supports.
Safari, Safari Technology Preview, Chrome, Chrome Canary, Firefox, Firefox Nightly, Firefox Developer Edition, Chromium, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, Edge

They have started restricting what types of ads can be blocked by adblockers. As an example if you install Ublock Origin you also need to install an extension app to block everything. It was one of the main things that pushed me over to Brave.
