    Cookie Management in Edge


    In IE 11 we had the "cookie management" option. I can't find that in Edge. Accept or allow first, second, and third party cookies, etc.

    I also liked the option to periodically delete all cookies EXCEPT those from web sites in the Favorites folder. Any chance of finding that option in Edge?

    Windows Version 1909
    OS Build 18363.476

    Cookie Management in Microsoft Edge

    Hello,

    Your browsing history is the information that Microsoft Edge remembers and stores on a PC as your browse the web. This includes info you've entered into forms, passwords, and sites you've visited, and it helps make your browsing experience better.

    Kindly follow the below steps to manage cookies in Microsoft Edge.

    • Open Microsoft Edge.
    • Click on More options (… symbol) on the top right corner of the browser.
    • Select Settings from the drop down menu.
    • Click on Choose what to clear under
      Clear browsing data.
    • Check the Cookies and saved website data
      (and any other data you want to clear) and click on
      Clear button.
    Reference: We suggest you to refer the below Microsoft help article for more information about Microsoft Edge:

    Cookie Management in Microsoft Edge

    How can I manage cookies individually in Microsoft Edge?

    Specifically, I would like to delete all of my cookies except those related to my password manager (which I need to keep active in order to log into websites) every time I close my browser.

    It seems that Edge does not have any settings that allow for granular management of cookies. Is this really true? I have been mostly happy with Edge and want to continue using it, but proper cookie management is an absolute requirement for using a web
    browser in 2017.

    Please tell me there is a way to do this or I will have to go back to Firefox.

    Cookie Management in Edge

    Microsoft Edge and tracking cookies

    The issue is not that we can delete cookies. The issue is that Microsoft Edge does not allow users to manage which websites can and cannot use cookies. My policy is to completely reject cookies from all websites unless I specifically "white list" them
    in my browser settings. Until Edge allows that level of granularity in cookie management, it's pretty much unusable for anyone who cares about privacy and security.
