How To Remove Cookies for a Single Website

Nowadays, cookies are omnipresent on the internet, being used by the majority of websites. The reason behind storing cookies by websites is to improve their functionality and provide users with additional features. It is thanks to them that we do not have to type in our login information every time we try to access our online accounts. Also, cookies make sure that our preferences while viewing a website are being kept intact.

However, they also have a controversial side, as some of them, called tracking cookies, can be used to record your behavior and actions while browsing the internet. Luckily, these bothersome cookies can be removed from your newest version of the Firefox browser and in this article we will tell you how to do this without any hassle.

How to delete cookies for only one website

The most recent version of the Firefox browser has one cool feature that can help you to further protect your online activities. If you wish to remove cookies from one selected website without affecting the others, you can do it easily and here we will show you how it can be done.

Step 1:

First, you need to type “about:preferences#privacy” in the address bar and press Enter.

Step 2:

Once a new window opens, locate “Manage Data” on the right side of the screen and click on it.

Step 3:

Search for the domain name of the webpage, for which you do not want to keep any cookies.

Step 4:

Now you should be able to see all cookies stored by this webpage and by clicking on “Remove All Shown” you can delete them from your browser.

We are aware of the fact that this process could be even easier, for example, if we could access this feature with a right-click of the mouse. Still, we believe that every user of Firefox should know how to access this option, as it could be very useful for sure.
