Clearing O2 cookies in Chrome on Android

pgn — Sun, 08 Oct 2017 17:56:02 GMT

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 closed):

Chrome on Windows, works like a charm:

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.

@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.
