#12Can Google cookies be deleted ? This seems to have gone too far
They can: You have to sign out of your Google account. Afterwards you can delete the cookies in Chrome and they will actually be gone.

#13Are they trying to promote Firefox or something? Chrome seems to be trying quite hard to annoy people enough to actually uninstall it.

#14Earlier quoted context omitted.
If I build a service that needs a cookie to persist in the event of a user purging their cookies I don't think Google would accept that and just not delete it. The same is true for Google. If a user purges their cookies there shouldn't be any set afterwards. However... what's probably happening here is that the cookie is being deleted but then created again immediately afterwards because something in the user's brows…
Agree, in the "Clear browsing data" there's a clear message. Fine. However in chrome://settings/siteData?search=cookies there's just a "Remove all" button which in fact doesn't remove all cookies. See: https://twitter.com/ctavan/status/1044517442993737729
Forget about the ‘remove all’ button. Clicking the huge delete button with ‘trash’ icon that is supposed to delete the cookie one by one just hides the entry and then every Google Cookie is back when you refresh the page.

#16I posted about this last month here and also in Google Chrome forums but no one seemed to care. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17853092
I find the behavior of HN’s community as a whole, and its effect on submissions and comment scores interesting. I wish there was a way to discuss it, in like a meta-HN.
A few days ago I posted an article about how the EU proposes a new law that could give up to 6 years in jail for social media posts. A discussion got started but for some readon the post was immediately “flagged” and that put an end to all discussions and upvotes on it. Yours, I notice, was “dead” so probably flagged as well?

#17Sounds like Chrome 69 really sucks. Would kick out of laptop for not deleting cookies.

How can GDPR apply to processes running locally on your machine?
At best, you can claim misleading advertising (which, is often handled by the fair trade commission or something similar, and often has to show damages before they can award anything).

Only a small fraction of Chrome's user base will notice, and not even all of those will care. There are likely tech-savvy people reading this on Chrome 69 right now.
