Delete cookies chrome extension

Question

I want to delete all cookie on certain domain automatically so I have crafted an extension.I am able to view the cookies for the domain but I didn't find any method to delete them Here is my code the function eraseCookie is just called one time Any suggestions ? ``` function eraseCookie(name) { document.cookie = name + '=; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:01 GMT;'; } $(document).ready(function() { var cookies = document.cookie.split(";"); for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) { window.alert(cookies[i]); eraseCookie(cookies[i].split("=")[0]); } }); ``` I am also using jquery but I don't see a problem in that! ``` { "name": "Gapa", "version": "0.1", "description": "", "browser_action": { "default_icon": "sigla.png", "default_title": "", "popup": "hello.html" }, "content_scripts": [ { "matches": ["*://*.google.ro/*"], "js": ["jquery-1.8.2.min.js","cookie_handler.js"] } ], "icons": { "128":"sigla.png" }, "permissions": [ "cookies", "tabs", "*://*.google.ro/*" ], "manifest_version": 2 } `…

Accepted Answer

First of all you must provide cookies permission in your manifest.

Second of all Chrome provides you with cookies api where remove function is localted:

```
chrome.cookies.remove(object details, function callback);
```

You can use it like that:

```
chrome.cookies.remove({"url": "http://domain.com", "name": "cookieName"}, function(deleted_cookie) { console.log(deleted_cookie); });
```

Try using this to list all cookies for selected domains (inner delete function removes all cookies from this domain):

```
chrome.cookies.getAll({domain: "domain.com"}, function(cookies) {
    for(var i=0; i<cookies.length;i++) {
        chrome.cookies.remove({url: "http://domain.com" + cookies[i].path, name: cookies[i].name});
    }
});
```

In your manifest.json add:

```
  "background": {
    "scripts": ["background.js"]
  },
```

and in background.js you include proposed function.
