Internet Cookies Manager

You do not find many Internet cookies managers out there that let a user manage cookies from all installed browsers combined in one interface. Cookie Monster (via Madhur) is such a program. It is a portable application for Windows that recognized cookies in Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera. It does work with most browsers based on Internet Explorer or the Gecko engine as well.

The Internet Cookies Manager will display all cookies in its interface after startup. The cookies are sorted by name. The list can be filtered using the Search on top. A double-click on any line will open detailed information about the cookie in a separate window.

Basic operations provided are to delete (selected or all) cookies from the computer system. One interesting option is to mark those cookies that have been created by websites in the bookmarks of the web browsers. This makes it easier to distinguish between cookies that are needed more often and those that are usually not needed anymore. The program will clear the cookies regardless in which browser they have been created.

Cookies can be protected so that they will not be deleted when cleaning cookies with the program. Browser are detected automatically and the options provide access to manually configure the browser path in case the program does not recognize them correctly. This is helpful when using portable versions or multiple versions of the same browser on the system.

The main advantage of Cookie Monster is that it can display cookies of multiple browsers in its interface. It can be used to clear all cookies of all browsers in one click if the need should arise.

    Two in a row for me. I also use Renamer, the application featured in the previous post.

    In conjunction with Cookie Monster, I use Index.dat Analyzer to manage cookies.

    The only cookie manager I need is the “Delete All” button.
