Is it possible to modify a cookie?

If you added the cookie manually, you have the flexibility to edit all of its values. However, if the cookie was automatically detected by our cookie scanner, you can only make changes to the category and description.

Is it possible to remove a manually added cookie?

If you manually added the cookie, you can delete it. However, if it was automatically detected by our cookie scanners, it cannot be deleted. Nevertheless, you have the option to hide automatically detected cookies from the declaration list.

Yes, locate the cookie you wish to hide, and click 'Edit.' A dialog window will appear, allowing you to enable the 'Hide from cookie declaration' option.

To move a cookie to another category, select 'Edit' for the specific cookie you want to reassign. A dialog window will appear, and within it, you can choose a new 'Category' from the dropdown menu. Be sure to save the cookie details by clicking the 'Save' button.

Why do some automatically detected cookies appear as uncategorized and lack descriptions?

Our cookie database contains descriptions and categorizations for cookies. When a cookie is labeled as 'Uncategorized' and lacks a description, it typically means that this specific cookie has not yet been added to our database. We continually work on enhancing our cookie database, and it's a rare occurrence for widely used cookies to be absent from it. If you come across an uncategorized cookie that you believe should be part of our database, please don't hesitate to notify us through our support system, and we will promptly include it in our database.
