Specification

https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-clear-site-data/

Summary

Websites will now be able to clear all storage targets (“cookies”, “cache”,
and “storage”) by sending `Clear-Site-Data: “*”`. Note that Chrome does not
support clearing “executionContexts” at the moment, but if we added it in
the future any header targeting “*” would then clear them too.


Note: This was proposed in 2017, but never launched in Chrome.

Motivation

If a website really wanted to clear all data they would have to list all
possible targets in the header and be sure to check if any were added in
the future. By using “*” as the target, a website can be sure all data the
browser supports to clear via the header will be cleared.
