Remove single cookie via command line

[murmel]

hi Vivaldi-community!

is there a way to remove "one specific well known cookie" by using a Command Line Interface command?
(the usual way: Site-Info (LOCK) - cookies - select domain - cookies - open list - select cookie -> remove)

thank you

@murmel Another method is to go to Settings, Privacy, Display saved cookies, and search by domain.

I edited your post as I had to look up CLI command.

I'm looking for a method to remove "a single specific cookie" from a set of cookies related to a domain.

E.g. this forum domain vivaldi.net stores 4 different cookies. By using a single command I would like to remove one out of the database ...

Is there a way to do so?

You can probably† do this at the command line using your favourite SQL program, as long as you know SQL.

1. Download a program capable of browsing sqlite files. (I quite like this one: https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser ) - you can use a command line one if you want, but a GUI might help you tease out the exact SQL command to run
2. Go to vivaldi://about and open your Profile Path
3. Close Vivaldi
4. Open the Cookies file in your SQL program
5. You get something like this:

6. Figure out the SQL command to delete the specific cookies that you want. The cool thing about sqlitebrowser is it keeps a log of every SQL command run, so if you delete it using the GUI, you may be able to re-run the command from the command line using a CLI SQL program

† Disclaimer: I offer no guarantee that this will work. BACK UP FIRST!

@LonM that! i was looking for - you made me happy thank you. I was not guessing that cookies are organized in an sqlite-database.

thank you
