Cookie removal Chrome

From some other questions this week it looks possible/probable that Chrome has changed where it stores some of that information.
Chrome did get an update last week.
If that's the case then  CCleaner now has to play catch up to clean those new locations.

It does happen that browsers change things, and then everyone else has to catch up with what they have changed. Seems to happen more and more often these days.
(eg. Doesn't affect Chrome, but last month Firefox released a new edition which can be downloaded from the Microsoft Store, to do that the MS Store edition uses different storage locations than the standard Firefox. So now CCleaner needs to be updated so that it will clean both Firefox editions no matter which one you are using).

There should be a new update to CCleaner soon (later this week?) so any changes needed for Chrome (and any for Firefox) may be included in that.

If when the next CCleaner update comes it doesn't solve your problem then please come back to us, or you could email support@ccleaner.com for their help.

CCleaner 5.88 is now available.

I don't have Chrome so can't see if changes have been made?

Make sure that you have checked that you are not letting background apps run, and that your Chrome is not synced.
If you have set/allowed either of those then CCleaner cannot clean Chrome, or it will clean it from your machine but the info will get synced straight back from the cloud.

See these:

https://silicophilic.com/ccleaner-not-cleaning-google-chrome/

Once you have checked those then if the issue still persists it indiates that something has indeed changed in Chrome.
TBH I suspect that Chrome is now storing cookies in a different way, ie. in 'cookie-jars' with a seperate jar for each website.
It's a security measure.
If so that means that they will no longer be where CCleaner expects them to be, (and so CCleaner will need to be changed).
Firefox started doing that a couple of months ago and CCleaner had to be changed to clean the new Firefox locations, it was only a matter of time until Chrome (and other browsers) followed suit.

Can you elaborate on what isn't working?

A screenshot of your Smart Cleaning window may help us to spot any setting issues.
