browers history and cookies

Good morning is there a way to setup Quest Desktop Authority to delete browser history and cookies but keep passwords in Chrome and Edge on client computers, I know I can set it up in Windows Group Policy but would like to keep it all in one program

  • Yes, this is possible, but it depends on which version of Desktop Authority you're using and what browser management options it supports.

    If Desktop Authority can run scripts or scheduled tasks, you could clear Chrome and Edge browsing history and cookies while leaving the saved passwords intact by targeting only the history and cookie databases—not the browser profile or password store.

    That said, Microsoft Group Policy (or Intune for managed devices) is generally the more reliable and supported approach for Chromium-based browsers, as it provides granular control over browsing data without affecting saved passwords. If you're already managing everything through Desktop Authority, it's worth checking whether it supports browser-specific cleanup policies before resorting to custom scripts.
