[virtual] QWebEngineCookieStore::~QWebEngineCookieStore()

Destroys this QWebEngineCookieStore object.

[signal] void QWebEngineCookieStore::cookieAdded(const QNetworkCookie &cookie)

This signal is emitted whenever a new cookie is added to the cookie store.

[signal] void QWebEngineCookieStore::cookieRemoved(const QNetworkCookie &cookie)

This signal is emitted whenever a cookie is deleted from the cookie store.

void QWebEngineCookieStore::deleteAllCookies()

Deletes all the cookies in the cookie store.

Note: This operation is asynchronous.

See also loadAllCookies().

void QWebEngineCookieStore::deleteCookie(const QNetworkCookie &cookie, const QUrl &origin = QUrl())

Deletes cookie from the cookie store. It is possible to provide an optional origin URL argument to limit the scope of the cookie to be deleted.

Note: This operation is asynchronous.

void QWebEngineCookieStore::deleteSessionCookies()

Deletes all the session cookies in the cookie store. Session cookies do not have an expiration date assigned to them.

Note: This operation is asynchronous.

See also loadAllCookies().

void QWebEngineCookieStore::loadAllCookies()

Loads all the cookies into the cookie store. The cookieAdded() signal is emitted on every loaded cookie. Cookies are loaded automatically when the store gets initialized, which in most cases happens on loading the first URL. However, calling this function is useful if cookies should be listed before entering the web content.

Note: This operation is asynchronous.

void QWebEngineCookieStore::setCookie(const QNetworkCookie &cookie, const QUrl &origin = QUrl())

Adds cookie to the cookie store.

Note: If cookie specifies a QNetworkCookie::domain() that does not start with a dot, a dot is automatically prepended. To limit the cookie to the exact server, omit QNetworkCookie::domain() and set origin instead.

The provided URL should also include the scheme.

Note: This operation is asynchronous.

void QWebEngineCookieStore::setCookieFilter(const std::function<bool (const FilterRequest &)> &filterCallback)

Installs a cookie filter that can prevent sites and resources from using cookies. The filterCallback must be a lambda or functor taking a FilterRequest structure. If the cookie access is to be accepted, the filter function should return true; otherwise it should return false.

The following code snippet illustrates how to set a cookie filter:

profile->cookieStore()->setCookieFilter(
    [&allowThirdPartyCookies](const QWebEngineCookieStore::FilterRequest &request)
    { return !request.thirdParty || allowThirdPartyCookies; }
);

You can unset the filter with a nullptr argument.

The callback should not be used to execute heavy tasks since it is running on the IO thread and therefore blocks the Chromium networking.

Note: The cookie filter also controls other features with tracking capabilities similar to those of cookies; including IndexedDB, DOM storage, filesystem API, service workers, and AppCache.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.11.

See also deleteAllCookies() and loadAllCookies().

void QWebEngineCookieStore::setCookieFilter(std::function<bool (const FilterRequest &)> &&filterCallback)

This is an overloaded function.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.11.
