Developer Cookie

Set a cookie to tell your websites that you're a developer. Use with Google Analytics to avoid tracking internal traffic.

From any website, simply click on the Developer Cookie Icon in your browser to set yourself as a developer/team member for that domain. Green means that you are a developer and that cookies will be set for this domain, gray means you are not. This preference is saved and this extension will try to always keep a cookie set for that domain.

The "name" and "value" of the cookie that gets created can (and should) be customized to be unique to you or your organization.

A list of all of your active domains can be found on the Options page, where domains can be easily added or removed as needed. There is also a button here to clear any cookies that have been saved on your device. Right-click the Developer Cookie Icon in your browser and select "Options" to access this page any time. Alternatively, you can find a link to this page in your Extensions manager.

} else {
// I am NOT a developer
// Insert Google Analytics code here, etc.
