I notice that certain cookies saved in my chrome browser are getting deleted automatically without any manual intervention. I have the some extensions installed in chrome. I want to know if anybody has faced the same issue. Do certain extension delete cookies on a regular basis? Any information would be helpful
I think I know the answer! Google chrome has a cap on the number of cookies it allowed per domain . Once the total number of cookies in that domain exceeds that count, it deletes cookies! Verified!
It must be due to some extension that you have installed. Extensions can have access to clear the cookies.
So, If you have not deleted the cookies manually, then the other extensions installed, are the responsible for clearing the cookies.
I have also observed something similar. After updating to Chrome 67 stable about two weeks ago some cookies disappeared. No matter if I set them again, after restarting chrome they are not there. Like the blocking cookie of web statistics/hit counter.
I don't know details, but looks like it may be related to http/https issue, I see in the site info that for some of the http pages background data is not synced in Chrome.
Or, if the cookie has no expiration time.
They're still being deleted without my consent and it's not due to extensions.

On the latest version of Chrome (Version 90.0.4430.85 on MacOS), I found that third-party cookies are disabled even though in my browser settings I checked "Allow all Cookies". I also tried adding the site to "Sites that can always use cookies" and checked "Including third-party cookies on this site", but it still doesn't seem to work. I'm accessing a course on LTI that requires third-party cookies. (The course is quite old so that might be an issue)
I'm getting this error:
Chrome Settings:
The reason I know this is because my other laptop has an earlier version of Chrome(around 80) and the cookies are working(the course loads), but it no longer works when I update my Chrome to the latest version.
When I tried in Safari, I'm able to allow third-party cookies by disabling "Prevent cross-website tracking", but I cannot find such settings in Chrome.
Any ideas on what I might try to be able to use third-party cookies on the latest version of Chrome? Also, why is it the case that this site functions in an earlier version of Chrome but not the latest? Thanks in advance.
Your browser settings for 3rd-party cookies look OK as far as testing by allowing all.
The issue may be with the LTI tool/app provider who is providing their product through Canvas and other LMS's - for example, if the LTI tool/app provider hasn't set their cookies with SameSite=None - sounds like you're suspecting that as far as course/app being older.
I think you can test this by temporarily disabling the same site requirement here: chrome://flags/#same-site-by-default-cookies
There are a few other decent testing tips from Chromium here.
If that's the issue and you still need to provide access quickly for a bunch of users, but can't wait for the LTI tool/app to be updated, you can usually update the LTI app/tool settings in Canvas to open it in a separate tab/window instead of as an iframe - e.g. these settings in Canvas.
Hope it works out!
I have created several virtual hosts for my development processes. They were working just fine till yesterday. But in my chrome app, today they stopped working. Chrome shows: NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID
All my vhosts end with .dev. I changed one .dev to .work and its again working. But I can not do this for all vhosts as there are too many of them. What do I do?
PS:
They are working fine in firefox.
The error remains same in chrome incognito mode.
I tried clearing cache and hard reload, deleted my history and cache, restarting chrome even windows multiple time, nothing works.
In one solution, I found an exception can be included in chrome://net-internals/#hsts. I tried deleting domain in there but somehow it still appears in Query Domain search.
Chrome have switched the .dev sub domain to HTTPS only.
They have done this by turning on HSTS for this top level domain, but by preloading this in the Chrome code rather than sending the HSTS header. This means it cannot be switched off in the chrome://net-internals/#hsts screen.
More info:
https://ma.ttias.be/chrome-force-dev-domains-https-via-preloaded-hsts/
So you’re only options are:
Update you’re vhosts to a different TLD (e.g. .test). And yes this might be painful because you have so many.
Move to HTTPS by creating a certificate and updating your URLs. A self signed certificate that you can create yourself will do, however note that HSTS not only blocks accessing the site over plaintext HTTP, but also prevents you clicking through certificate errors. So you’ll need to manually accept any certificate to your trust store before it can be used.
The chrome team have been pushing HTTPS more and more and certain features are now HTTPS-only so even dev envs will need it now. So maybe it’s finally time take the effort to make the switch.
I've noticed that Google keeps visiting some of my url:s each time i boot up Google Chrome, does anyone know why this might be?
This wouldn't be much of a problem, except that it keeps hitting an login-url for a system I've built. And each time there's an unknown login-call I receive a text message... so, it's kind of annoying.
The IP range i keep receiving this visits from is 66.102.9.*.
Sure, I could block this ip-range. But first I'd like to know why I keep receiving this visits. Does anyone have any ideas?
Perhaps it is your Chrome's starting page and you could change it in the settings.
That's where I'd start, unless you have already checked that.
If that's not it, try the Google Chrome forums
When you use Google Chrome, it sends GET requests to Google's servers for the bowser's update checks and for the Chrome apps updates.
Chrome sends requests to multiple URLs when it’s checking for and downloading updates. The order of requests is determined dynamically at runtime. Both HTTP and HTTPS protocols might be tried. The following URL list of hostnames and paths can change at any time without notice:
www.google.com/dl/*
*.gvt1.com
tools.google.com/service/update2
dl.google.com/*
google.com/dl/*
clients2.google.com
update.googleapis.com/service/update2
As the subject says, I want to update chrome cookies without opening the browser, by using some script. This is done to do autologin into certain websites as soon as the user logins to the workstations. Can anyone help me in this regard.
I have script to retrieve the cookies from server, so this part of problem is solved.
Thanks and Best Regards,

Whenever I try to visit log in to PayPal on Google Chrome (my current version is 35.0.1916.114 which is the most up to date at the time of writing this), I get a 500 Internal Server Error. Here's the exact one:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster#paypal.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
I'm able to visit the homepage fine and I can log in on all other browsers but this has been an issue for some time now (I just haven't gotten around to looking into it). At the moment, I open Firefox just to use PayPal but I used Chrome for everything else so I'm trying to solve it.
Any ideas on why this would be happening? I've seen other questions on the web similar but they are mainly due to people 'buying' through PayPal which isn't a problem for me. I can purchase items on the 'purchase' screens that you get redirected to from a site.
Thanks for your help!
I see this from time to time on a couple of very specific web sites (e.g., Slashdot). All other sites works fine when this happens (and the site works fine in other browsers, including Web Kit based ones). The embarrassingly simple solution is to restart the browser (I try to avoid it since I often have 50+ tabs open). If guess the problem might be session cookies (that would explain why a restart works). As a consequence of this guess, clearing all permanent cookies for PayPal and related sites might be worth considering.
For me, I do like this at the 500 error page
Click on the Secure to the left side of the address bar
Select Site settings
Select Reset site settings at the bottom of the page
Reload the page
in some cases but not all. There appears to be a corrupt session via the cookie or data stored for a specific browser in the java files. Try the following;
1. Download CCleaner (close chrome)
Remove and clean registry files
Remove tmp and cached for CHROME as well as cookies
Clear index.dat file
4. Control Panel / Java-open / clear internet java cached files
5. Make sure you're not using a proxy IP for the web
6. Restart computer
7. Try again
Now that Google separated cookies from permissions I had to delete my cookies separately to get it to work.
Click on the Secure to the left side of the address bar
Select Cookies
Select the wordpress cookies and Remove each one
