Brief Summary
On the Orion MacOS app, you can disable cookies in website settings for each site. I want the same thing on the iOS mobile app.

Details:
On the mobile app, on a website, tap the site favicon, choose site settings, and on the settings panel see a new toggle for “Accept cookies”. Turn off the toggle to disable cookies for this site.

    This would be a killer feature for me, especially since some popular extensions which do it don’t seem to work (Cookie AutoDelete and Forget Me Not).

    Putting the settings here in the UI like on desktop would make the most sense to me. But I’d argue that a feature to allow with removal after a delay after leaving the site would be more practical as many pages refuse to work outright with cookies disabled.


Hi, I would like to blacklist or auto-delete cookies and cache for specific websites. A example of why I need this is that even with the BypassPaywalls extension installed, nytimes.com paywalls articles after one or two articles, until I clear the cache. This holds true even in private tabs. It’s annoying to keep clearing the cache manually, so having some kind of a setting to do it would be great!

Also not sure why this is flaired desktop; I’m testing on an iPad.

    Velociraptor You can edit tags of the post, by default it is desktop because that is what most users report for.

    We should have cookie control on mobile same as we have for desktop.

    The problem is where do we place this setting?

        Vlad Considering it’s a per-site setting, I’d suggest a simple toggle accessible from the “website settings” menu that’s available when you click a page’s favicon.

            Vlad On iOS I am not aware of browsers having this specific functionality, however the Hyperweb extension for Safari has this functionality. In general, having granular permissions per site is something I’d love to see.
