Google implemented a new experimental feature in Chrome Canary that gives users options to clear third-party cookies in the web browser.

All major web browsers offer controls when it comes to cookies. Most allow users to block third-party cookies, some come with extra options; Firefox for example includes an option to allow third-party cookies for the browsing session only.

It is not that easy to deal with third-party cookies once they have been placed on the system as most web browsers make no distinction between first and third-party cookies when it comes to the clearing of data.

Tip: here is a guide on finding out how many cookies sites save to the local system.

Chrome's "Clear browsing data" tool is designed to clear all cookies and other site data; this changes in the recent Chrome Canary web browser.

The feature needs to be enabled before it becomes available. Please note that experimental flags may be removed at any time. Some may also be implemented natively in the Chrome browser.

Here is what you need to do currently to enable the new feature:

1. Load chrome://flags/ in the browser's address bar.
2. Search for Enable removing SameSite=None cookies
3. Set the experimental flag to enabled.
4. Restart Google Chrome.
