Where does Chrome store cookies?


The answer is due to the fact that Google Chrome uses an SQLite file to save cookies. It resides under:

C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\

inside Cookies file. (which is an SQLite database file)

So it's not a file stored on hard drive but a row in an SQLite database file which can be read by a third party program such as: SQLite Database Browser

EDIT: Thanks to @Chexpir, it is also good to know that the values are stored encrypted.


You can find a solution on SuperUser :Chrome cookies folder in Windows 7:-C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\You'll need a program like SQLite Database Browser to read it.For Mac OS X, the file is located at :-~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Cookies


Actually the current browsing path to the Chrome cookies in the address bar is:chrome://settings/content/cookies
