Permission Trail

Permission Trail is the official Chrome extension for permissiontrail.co.uk — a privacy dashboard that shows what data websites store in your browser and gives you clear, practical control over it.

🔍 What Permission Trail Does

Permission Trail automatically logs when websites store data in your browser. This includes cookies, local storage, session storage, IndexedDB, Cache Storage, service workers, and form-related data. Instead of this activity happening silently in the background, you can see it clearly in your dashboard.

The extension securely syncs this information with your account at permissiontrail.co.uk, where you can view detailed breakdowns of each website’s activity. You’ll see what types of data are being stored, detected trackers, and a calculated trust score that helps you quickly assess behaviour.

You can revoke stored data for individual websites or use bulk deletion to remove data across multiple sites at once. This means you no longer have to worry about clicking “accept all” and dealing with the consequences later.

Excluded Websites mode allows you to mark sites you trust. These websites will be ignored by tracking and won’t appear in your dashboard, helping you focus only on sites you want to monitor.
