Bad Cookie

Most privacy tools either simplify everything into a meaningless "block trackers" button, or expose technical jargon without explaining what any of it actually means. Bad Cookie is different. We translate browser tracking into actual English, so you can see who is tracking you, understand why, and kick out what you don't want.

You wouldn't put a bad cookie in your mouth. Don't let one live in your browser.

Bad Cookie translating a browser cookie into a plain-English explanation

Core capabilities

We translate browser tracking into actual English, so you can see who is tracking you and understand why.

  • Understand Cookies in Plain English

    We translate raw identifiers (like _fbp or _ga) into human-readable explanations.

  • Identify Third-Party Domains

    See exactly which companies and trackers are loading behind the scenes of the websites you visit.

  • Surface Ad-Tech & Data Brokers

    Spot when domains are connected to advertising, behavioural profiling, or data-broker ecosystems.

  • Understand Privacy Risks

    Learn the difference between essential site functionality (like keeping you logged in) and cross-site tracking.

Core capabilities

When you see a tracker you don't like, you can remove it — from one domain to a full reset.

  • Targeted Purge

    See a specific domain or tracker you don't like? Purge its data instantly.

  • Third-Party Purge

    Clean out all third-party browser data without breaking the main websites you visit.

  • Block Pixel Trackers

    Stop known tracking pixels and beacons from loading as third-party requests.

  • Wipe All Data

    The nuclear option. Clear cookies, cache, and site storage when you want a complete reset.

Privacy & trust architecture

We do not have a surveillance business model. We do not sell your browsing history. We are built strictly on Manifest V3 architecture.

  • Local-First

    Your browsing data stays in your browser.

  • Minimal Permissions

    We only request access to what is strictly necessary to clean and protect your browser.

  • Payment Transparency

    Basic features are free. Premium entitlement checks are handled securely via ExtPay.

Important behaviour notes

  • Using "Wipe All Data" will sign you out of websites and clear local preferences (like shopping carts).
  • Purging specific data may require you to log back into certain services.
  • If you enable tracker blocking, you will need to reload your currently open tabs for the new rules to apply.

Know what's there, understand it, and delete what you don't want.

One email when it lands. That's it — this studio removes noise, it doesn't make it.

Coming soon to Chrome.
