Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.140 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Go to chrome://settings/clearBrowserData 2. Delete data (don't forget cookies box) 3. Cookies still exist What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? In the case of existing directives or permissions, for example in a company, it's not possible to delete all cookies. Sometimes you need to run Google Chrome as an Administrator to do that and, obviously, you can't do it. Will be interesting an option to protect your own privacy. One solution is using Incognito Mode but but sometimes you can not use it for several reasons. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 64.0.3282.140 Channel: stable OS Version: 6.3 Flash Version:

When you work for some companies they 'lock' folders of My Documents and /Program Files/ folder. You can't access to these folders and you can't erase data in Chrome. This is a huge problem for privacy. I checked cookies and i see still exit in chrome://settings/siteData

Is not a UI problem.

Chrome doesn't use either MyDocuments or Program Files for storing its data, and would not function properly without read/write access to its databases. Nevertheless, yes, it is possible for a PC to be configured in such a way to break Chrome and there's nothing Chrome can do about that. Having said that, I expect the root cause of this issue is still the since-fixed UI glitch I mentioned above, but without the information requested there's no way to prove it. |
