Clear-Site-Data Header Reference

The clear-site-data HTTP response header instructs the browser to clear data that is associated with the current site. Developers can use this header to tell the browser to clear the cache, clear the cookies, or clear everything.

Example: Clear All Data

To clear all site data the browser has on the current site, use the wildcard:

Clear-Site-Data: "*"

Example: Clear Site Cookies

To tell the browser to clear the cookies, but not the cache or other stored elements:

Clear-Site-Data: "cookies"

Quick Reference

• "*" - clears all of the below data types
• "cookies" - clears all cookies for the site
• "cache" - clears the browser cache, and possibly address bar history related to the site
