# FlagCookies

A cookie, and browser storage manager with cow powers.
Gives the ability to flag and set rules explicitly for cookies, also third-party cookies, cross origin, and secure cookies aswell as browser storage management.
Domain.net and subdomain.Domain.net can have individual rights. Providing several modes to set rules on cookies and keeping a cookie profile, while being logged in in a website or service.

## Important privacy notice
- No cookie information besides the name and domain name are stored inside FlagCookies to work, no values, no direct details.
- No session data or details are stored or processed
- No history of visited domains or websies or any other tracking is used.

### Before you use this addon
This add-on is mainly aimed at power users, this might sound harsh, but it is not!

To get the most out of FlagCookies, you have to define either own cookie rules for websites and or make use of `Global Flag`, or `Auto flag`, `Profile` modes.
Also, in case you use payment services, be advised to disable the "Global flag" feature temporarily. For example when using Paypal or other shopping/payment provider websites and services.

### *Long story made short* - Basic usage
1) Use `Global mode` if you are surfing, this will remove all kind of cookies while browsing the web if not protected by `profile` mode.
2) Use `Auto flag` which will remove all cookies for one website/domain - this can be useful if you only want to automatically remove these page cookies every time you browse this website.
3) Use `Profile mode` either globally for a website, protecting all cookies of that domain if no cookies are picked as profile cookies. Or protect single cookies even when `Global flag` or `Auto flag` modes are active.
4) `Click / Flag` and set rules for each cookie individually, works together with the other modes.

### JDownloader2
Note: It is possible to export detected cookies into a json file or into the clipboard, used by JDownloader2, from the `Settings` tab inside of FlagCookies.
More information also can be found at the Github page.
