Specification https://yoavweiss.github.io/delete-cookie/draft-deletecookie-weiss-http-00/draft-deletecookie-weiss-http.html Summary A header that would enable servers to delete cookies they receive without having to know the "path" or "domain" parameters with which these cookies were set. Blink componentInternals>Network>Cookies <https://issues.chromium.org/issues?q=customfield1222907:%22Internals%3ENetwork%3ECookies%22> Motivation Long-operating web sites can often find themselves dealing with "cookie cruft" - cookies that no longer have backend logic that corresponds with them. Such cookies may have been set at some point in the past with far-reaching expiration dates, and are now causing useless cookie bloat at best, or using up quotas at the expense of relevant cookies at worst Deleting cookies is possible today by setting their expiry date to one in the past, but that requires one to know the "domain" and "path" parameters with which the cookies were set. That is not something that can be passively observed on the server side by default. Initial public proposal https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2025JanMar/0164.html TAG reviewNone. This feature will be discussed at the HTTPWG. It's unclear to me if the TAG should also weigh in on this. TAG review statusNot started Risks Interoperability and Compatibility This feature has no compatibility risk. It's also getting engagement at the HTTPWG, and no strong pushback, which makes me think its interop risk is low. *Gecko*: No signal *WebKit*: No signal *Web developers*: No signals *Other signals*: WebView application risks Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications? None Debuggability None Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests <https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md> ?Yes <https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/6298878> Flag name on about://flagsNone Finch feature nameNone for now, but I'll add one. Non-finch justificationNone Requires code in //chrome?False Estimated milestones No milestones specified Link to entry on the Chrome Platform Status https://chromestatus.com/feature/5195868787179520?gate=5086227331809280 This intent message was generated by Chrome Platform Status <https://chromestatus.com/>. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "blink-dev" group.
