[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 949571, member: 55987"] Deleting cookies is after each browsing session unless you can auto delete during your browsing session (see below). You'll need to keep the cookies if you need to frequently sign-in to the sites I think the concern here is during the browsing session and how to prevent cookie theft. There are many articles on the net detailing this, e.g. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.hackingloops.com/cookies/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.techopedia.com/definition/24633/cookie-theft[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/293777/how-to-prevent-cookies-from-getting-stolen/[/URL] They mainly talked of prevention like 1) Surf over secure sites e.g. HTTPS 2) Preventing exploits 3) Preventing session hijacking from XSS, DNS and MITM attacks and lastly, clearing cookies at the end of the session e,g use of Incoginto mode, sandbox/virtualize the browser or otherwise using an extension to do that. Note the browser itself also can clear browsing history but that's only after you exit the browser Extension which can automatically clear browsing history with preset timing is the best. Chrome History Cleaner extension (no longer available in Chrome Web Store) can clear browsing history at every 1 minute minimum setting.
