SiteWipe Privacy Policy

What SiteWipe stores locally

SiteWipe saves a small amount of data to your browser using Chrome's built-in storage (chrome.storage.sync). This data never leaves Chrome's own sync infrastructure and is never sent to any server controlled by us.

The stored data consists of the names (never values) of cookies you mark as "protected" on each domain, and your preferences (theme choice, auto-reload setting). That's it. No browsing history, no cookie values, no personal information.

What SiteWipe does not do

SiteWipe does not collect analytics or telemetry of any kind. It does not make network requests to any external server. It does not set its own cookies. It does not track which sites you visit, how often you use it, or what you clear. It contains no third-party code, no ads, and no tracking pixels.

Permissions explained

SiteWipe requests the following Chrome permissions, each required for core functionality:

• browsingData — clear cache, localStorage, IndexedDB, service workers, and CacheStorage for specific origins.
• cookies — read cookie names for the current site so you can see and protect them. Cookie values are displayed in Chrome's own cookie store UI but are never logged, stored, or transmitted by SiteWipe.
• storage — save your protected-cookie choices and settings via chrome.storage.sync.
• tabs — identify the active tab's URL so SiteWipe knows which domain to operate on.
• host_permissions (<all_urls>) — required by Chrome's cookies API to read cookies from any domain you visit. Without this, the extension could only see cookies on a fixed list of sites.

Data retention

All stored data lives in Chrome's sync storage and is tied to your browser profile. Uninstalling SiteWipe removes this data. You can also clear it manually via Chrome's extension settings.

Children's privacy

SiteWipe does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children under 13.

Open source

The full source code is available for inspection. Every line of code ships unminified inside the extension — what you install is what you can read.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published here with a new effective date. Since SiteWipe collects no data, meaningful changes are unlikely.
