Permission Trail
Why it matters
Every time you click “Allow” or “Accept,” websites quietly store your data. Permission Trail reveals what's been saved - and lets you erase it.
Most websites store more than you realise - trackers, identifiers, and tokens. See everything, then decide what stays.
Cookies alone don't stop scripts from tracking behaviour. Permission Trail reveals hidden tracking in real time.
See exactly what's stored about you and clean it up instantly - all in one beautiful dashboard.
Simple setup
Three steps to full visibility over what websites store in your browser.
Add Permission Trail from the Chrome Web Store in seconds. It works on both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge at no cost.
Permission Trail monitors what websites store as you browse. No configuration needed — it works automatically from the moment it's installed.
See every cookie, IndexedDB entry, service worker, and cached file websites have stored on your device — then delete it all in one click.
Full transparency
Permission Trail reveals all seven storage types — not just cookies.
Small text files websites store to remember who you are, keep you logged in, and track your activity across sessions.
Larger key-value data that persists after the browser closes — often used for preferences, tokens, or tracking identifiers.
Temporary data stored only for the current browser tab or session, cleared when the tab is closed.
A full database built into your browser that websites use to store large amounts of structured data — often invisible to users.
Files such as images, scripts, and pages that websites save for offline use and faster loading — they can hold tracking assets too.
Background scripts installed by websites that continue running even after you close the tab, enabling push notifications and offline access.
Data you have typed into forms that your browser has saved automatically — names, addresses, search queries, and more.
