onChanged
Fired when a cookie is set or removed. As a special case, note that updating a cookie's properties is implemented as a two step process: the cookie to be updated is first removed entirely, generating a notification with "cause" of "overwrite" . Afterwards, a new cookie is written with the updated values, generating a second notification with "cause" "explicit".
addListener
chrome.cookies.onChanged.addListener(function callback)
Parameters | ||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
function | callback |
The callback parameter should be a function that looks like this: function(object changeInfo) {...};
