Description

@kasim672

Tool Name

Cookie Viewer

Proposed Filename

cookie-viewer.html

Category

Browser & Network

Description

A standalone browser-based utility that allows users to inspect and manage cookies for the current website. Users can view cookie names, values, expiration dates (when available), paths, and domains, as well as create, edit, delete, and search cookies through a simple interface. The tool is useful for developers debugging client-side applications and testing cookie behavior without opening browser developer tools. All operations happen locally in the browser and only affect cookies for the current origin.

Key Features

Display all cookies for the current origin in a searchable table.
View cookie names and values.
Create new cookies with configurable attributes.
Edit existing cookie values.
Delete individual cookies.
Clear all cookies for the current origin with confirmation.
Search and filter cookies by name or value.
Copy cookie names or values with one click.
Display cookie metadata such as path, domain (where accessible), expiration, Secure, and SameSite settings when available.
Fully responsive, keyboard accessible, and works entirely offline.

Suggested Difficulty
