The cookies information is stored as a sqlite file and thus you will need the sqlite3 python module to read the sqlite file. This Python script was written to extract cookies information on a Linux box running Firefox. When i ran the script and did a count of the 10 top sites which left largest number of entries in the cookies sqlite DB, none of them except for one or two were sites I directly visited! In this post, i will demonstrate how to list the list of all sites that left cookies in your computer, as well as extract additional information from the cookies. ![]() A single site you visit, usually has lots of links in it, especially ads, that store cookies in your computer.
