How do you check cookies using Chrome?

In your console, type document.cookie. It will return the active cookies for that page.


To check the current page's cookies using Chrome:

Option 1

  1. Open Developer Tools (usually F12)
  2. Click the "Application" tab (used to be "Resources")
  3. Expand the "Cookies" list item
  4. Click any list item.

You can view cookies in detail here, and clear them out (click any list item under cookies then click the cancel icon on the bottom left of the table).

Option 2

Use the javascript console, e.g. document.cookie. Less sophisticated (graphically), but you can work with the data using javascript. Note that the results will be restricted based on how websites are allowed to access local data from other sites (see MDN Same-origin policy).

Option 3

There is also chrome://settings/siteData (was previously settings/cookies). Just put the url into Chrome's address field.
