CookieSmith is a browser extension for viewing and editing cookies. Cookies are sensitive by nature, so CookieSmith is built around one rule: your cookie data never leaves your browser.
Cookie viewing and editing happen entirely inside your browser. Saved session profiles, protected-cookie settings, and preferences are stored locally using the browser's extension storage. Exports are files you create and save yourself. The extension contains no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no remote code. It never transmits cookies — or anything else about your browsing — anywhere.
CookieSmith takes no blanket access to your browsing. It requests access site by site: the first time you open it on a site, it asks your browser for permission for that site only, and can only read or edit cookies for sites you have individually approved. You can revoke any site's access at any time in your browser's extension settings. The cookies permission enables the cookie editing API itself; storage saves your profiles and preferences locally; activeTab lets the popup see the address of the tab you have open so it can show that site's cookies.
Pro upgrades are processed by ExtensionPay and Stripe. When you choose to upgrade, ExtensionPay handles the checkout and stores the email address you provide to manage your licence; the extension only queries ExtensionPay to check whether your copy is licensed. We never see or store your card details. See the ExtensionPay privacy policy and the Stripe privacy policy.
We do not sell, share, or transfer any user data to third parties, other than the payment processing described above. There is nothing else to share.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a new date.
