Update: Cookie AutoDelete is dead — suggest Cookie Guardian as replacement

[ethancarlton-cyber]

Hi PI team,

I noticed your privacy guide at privacyinternational.org/guide-step/4321 still recommends Cookie AutoDelete. Unfortunately, it stopped working after Chrome enforced Manifest V3 and the developer abandoned it in 2022.

Suggested replacement: Cookie Guardian

• Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cookie-guardian-auto-dele/gnoaanpbfnjakaddkecnnamnfkebhgle
• Source Code: https://github.com/curlyethan/cookie-guardian
• Website: https://curlyethan.github.io/cookie-guardian/

What it does

Same core functionality as Cookie AutoDelete — automatically deletes cookies when you close browser tabs. Plus whitelist/greylist for trusted sites.

Privacy credentials

• Zero data collection (no tracking, no analytics, no external requests)
• Fully open source and auditable
• Manifest V3 compliant (won't break like CAD did)
• Minimal permissions (only what's necessary)

Just flagging this so your guide stays accurate. Happy to provide any additional info.

— Ethan (developer of Cookie Guardian)
