I think we have this already in the URLbar, can you confirm and close if it's missing something @flamsmark ?

Quite right 👍🏻

How exactly can I delete the cookies for a specific site? I only see content controls for new content, and no way to manage cookies other than "Delete ALL of them for the last {hour, day, week}" I need to be able to clear specific cookies. I want to delete Google's cookies but keep the ones for my bank, for example, without removing the entire history of all sites I browsed during the period.

@timolson Go to Settings > Site Settings > Cookies > All cookies and site data or the URL brave://settings/siteData. You'll see a list of cookies by site.

I can get there with the URL you provided, but there is no "Site Settings" under Settings. Is my version old?

Version 0.62.51 Chromium: 73.0.3683.103 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Click Advanced at the bottom of Settings:

Near the bottom of the Privacy and security section:

@cndouglas Nope, mine looks entirely different. Linux. No "Site Settings."

AHH but under Content Settings I finally found "See all cookies and site data."

Thanks for the PEBKAC support

Looks like the name was recently changed from "Content settings" to "Site settings". (I am running the nightly version — currently 0.65.50.)

Any way to control individual third-party cookies on a given site like the built-in way in Chrome? I block all third party cookies by default, the browser bar indicates when the browser has blocked cookies for a specific site with a cookie icon and red X on it. If I click that cookie icon, I can then choose to allow specific third-party cookies for this site or continue blocking them.

For instance, Brave is preventing me from being able to login to Atlassian Jira using my Google Auth. Granted, Atlassian uses several third-party cookies, but this is usually not a problem in other browsers because I can choose to allow cookie from site X on current site Y. There doesn't appear to be a way to do so within Brave.

@genio That same feature can be found in Brave by clicking the lock icon in the URL bar and then clicking Cookies:
