This is the privacy policy for **CookieDesk** — View, edit and delete cookies, partitioned ones too. The extension page is at https://www.extensionshop.store/extension/cookiedesk.

## Data collected

| Data | Optional | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Settings (stored locally) | No | Whether the toolbar button opens the popup or the side panel, and the cookies you mark as protected, recorded by name, domain, path and partition only, never their values. Stored in Chrome's extension storage on your device and never sent anywhere. |
| Usage counts (stored locally) | No | When CookieDesk was installed, how many changes it made successfully, on how many days, and when it last made one or showed an error, plus your answers to the optional support and rating cards. Numbers and times only, with no site names and no cookie data. They stay on your device. |
| Undo copies (memory only) | No | Copies of the cookies you just changed or deleted, so undo can restore them: at most the last 20 actions, for 10 minutes, in session memory that is never written to disk and is cleared when Chrome closes or the incognito session ends. |

## Never collected

- Cookie values — they never leave your browser, and CookieDesk writes none to disk of its own
- Page contents and browsing history — CookieDesk has no content scripts
- Your Google account, name, email or any personal identifiers
- Analytics, telemetry or crash reports of any kind
- Data sent to any first-party or third-party server — there is no CookieDesk server

## Third-party sharing

None. CookieDesk makes no network requests and uses no analytics, SDKs or servers. Two links open a normal browser tab only when you click them: the heart and "Buy me a coffee" open the developer's Ko-fi page, and "Rate CookieDesk" opens its Chrome Web Store page. Exports are files or clipboard text you ask for, and are never uploaded.

## Encryption

No data is transmitted.

## Data retention

Settings and usage counts stay in your browser's extension storage until you remove the extension, which deletes them automatically. Undo copies are gone after 10 minutes, when Chrome closes, or when their incognito session ends. Cookies you edited stay as you left them, like any other cookie.

## Permissions

| Permission | Why it is needed |
| --- | --- |
| Cookies | The core of the extension: lists, edits, adds and deletes the cookies of the sites you allow, only when you ask. |
| Site access, only for the sites you allow (optional) | Nothing is granted at install. Chrome asks you to allow each site the first time you open CookieDesk on it, or you can allow all sites in Access & settings. Every allowed site is listed there with a one-click remove. |
| Active tab | Reads the address of the current tab after you click the toolbar button, so CookieDesk knows which site's cookies to show and which site to ask about. |
| Storage | Keeps your settings (popup or side panel), the cookies you protect (by name, domain, path and partition, never their values) and a few local usage counts on your device. Undo copies live in session memory only. |
| Side panel | Lets you open CookieDesk in Chrome's side panel instead of the popup. |
