Where does Google Chrome store its cookies when running on Windows 7?
In Google Chrome go to:
Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Privacy > Content Settings > Cookies > All Cookies and Site Data
Or simply:
chrome://settings/cookies
In addition to the location mentioned in another answer, Chrome also stores cookies at this location
C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\UserData\Default\
It's at the following location:
C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\
You'll need a program like SQLite Database Browser to read it.
Chrome doesn't store cookies in separate text files in a cookies-directory like in IE; It stores all of the cookies together in a single file in the profile folder like Firefox. However, unlike Firefox, it does not use a plain-text file that can easily be edited; rather it stores them in an SQLite3 database in a file called—surprise, surprise—Cookies
in the User Data directory (e.g., %localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cookies
).
You can use an SQLite editor to view or modify the cookies, but it is probably easier to just use the built-in editor at chrome://chrome/settings/cookies
.
