Anyone know how to get into the settings on Chrome on android to selectively clear cookies?

Occasionally, O2's bill payment site throws an error that a clear-out of all O2 cookies can help overcome.

On the laptop, I can go into Settings, Advanced Settings and end up on a screen where I can type in "o2" and just click the garbage can icon to bin all o2 cookies only.

 

On my Android version of Chrome, I cannot seem to find the same section of the Settings screens, and the browser seems to hang if I try to selectively get to a specific site's cookies - clearing ALL cookies seems a bit of overkill:

 

Chrome on Android, Settings > Site Settings > All Sites, then use magnifier to search

(usually end up having to force Chrome closedconfused):

Chrome on Windows, works like a charm:

@MI5 - Sledgehammer approach to clear ALL cookies etc in a timeframe on mobile version, you reckon?

 

Shame it's not as easy to get down to the site level like my first screenshot up above shows.

 

I might try the synchronise thing, see if that helps.

 

Meantime, on Chrome on Laptop, I have added [*.]o2.co.uk to the section "Clear on exit" section of the browser, see if that helps:

Thanks for the pointer.

Settings >Privacy >Clear browsing data is the only way on mobile but clearing on windows chrome browser should also clear on any other browser assuming you are syncing data across all devices.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
