No Cache Reload.
Hard-reloads past the cache, and lets you inspect or delete individual cookies, local storage and session storage entries for the site you are on.
The short version
No account, no sign-in, no analytics, and no server of mine behind it. What this extension saves, it saves on your own computer, to remember how you like it set up.
What it stores on your device
Written with chrome.storage.local, readable only by the extension itself:
- clearSelection — which categories of data you last ticked for clearing (cache, cookies, local storage, and so on) and the scope you chose, so the popup reopens the way you left it.
What it never collects
- The cookies themselves. They are read from Chrome, listed in the popup for you to look at, and deleted if you ask — never copied, stored, or sent anywhere.
- The values in a site's local or session storage, beyond showing them to you in the popup.
- Your browsing history, or a log of which sites you cleared data on.
- No analytics, telemetry, tracking pixels, or advertising of any kind.
- No accounts, no sign-in, and no personally identifying information — not your name, email, IP address, or device fingerprint.
- Nothing is ever sold, rented, or shared with data brokers, advertisers, or any third party.
- No remote code. All logic ships inside the package Chrome reviewed; nothing is downloaded and executed at runtime.
Why it asks for each permission
cookies- Lists the current site's cookies in the popup — including HttpOnly ones, which no other API can see — and removes the individual cookie you click delete on.
browsingData- Performs the clear you asked for, scoped to the current site's origin whenever Chrome allows scoping.
scripting- Clears the page-level storage Chrome's own clearing API cannot reach, by running a small script in the tab you are on.
activeTab- Identifies the site you are currently on, so the clear and the cookie list apply to it and not to your whole profile.
contextMenus- Adds the right-click shortcuts for hard reload and clear-then-reload.
storage- Remembers your clearing selection between sessions.
Where your data goes
Nowhere. This extension sends nothing to any server — mine or anyone else’s.
Worth knowing
- This extension deletes data; it does not gather it. Nothing it reads ever leaves your browser, and it makes no network requests.
- Storage uses chrome.storage.local, never chrome.storage.sync — so the data stays on the machine it was created on and is not copied to your Google account or across your devices.
- Removing the extension from Chrome deletes everything it stored. You can also clear it at any time from the extension's own controls.
What you control
- Clear the extension’s saved data from its own controls, whenever you like.
- Remove it from chrome://extensions and everything it stored is deleted with it.
- Revoke any optional permission from Chrome’s extension settings, without uninstalling.
If this ever changes
This policy is versioned alongside the extension. If a release starts storing or sending something new, this page changes in the same update and the date above moves with it. No silent revisions.
Questions, or something that looks wrong
Write to me and I’ll answer. If you find anything this policy does not describe accurately, I want to hear about it — that is a bug in the policy or in the extension, and either way it gets fixed.
