    Delete Chrome Cookies Question

If you want to automatically delete Chrome cookies from command-line, you can use the /DeleteCookies and /DeleteCookiesWildcard commands.
The /DeleteCookies command accepts 2 parameters - host name and cookie name. If you only specify the host name, all cookies of this host name will be deleted.
For example, the following command will delete all cookies of amazon.com :
ChromeCookiesView.exe /DeleteCookies ".amazon.com"

The following command will only delete the cookie of amazon.com that its name is session-id:
ChromeCookiesView.exe /DeleteCookies ".amazon.com" "session-id"

The /DeleteCookiesWildcard command is similar to the /DeleteCookies command, but it also allows you to specify wildacrd in the host name and cookie name.
For example, the following command will delete all Amazon cookies (amazom.com, amazon.de, and so on):
ChromeCookiesView.exe /DeleteCookiesWildcard "*.amazon.*"
