Hey, thx for your report. The cookie manager dosen't deletes cookies, but if you change your settings, the cookie manager stops to load the needed JavaScript(and no renewal of the cookies will happen), which is needed to read the cookie. So it is like a dead cookie. If we take GA as example, without the JS no tracking will take place. I thought about a feature which deletes really the set cookies, but this will only be possible when the user sets the exact cookie name inside the configuration and this is not given in 85% of the cases i have seen. i can't really delete all cookies after a change, there could be cookies which are not set over the javascript managed by the extension. Maybe you have some nice idea in this regard?
