If this is a dupe, I apologize in advance. I checked for info in gaia wiki and didn't find anything substantial.

I assume that a bunch of webapps will use cookies to save sessionIDs or activity a particular user had taken in the past. Within a browser, users can choose to delete cookies associated with a specific website. 

How do they do the same for b2g webapps?

The current proposal is to have an area in the Settings App (under Security & Privacy)  where users can delete cookies associated with a specific web app. It hasn't been designed yet (I'll get to it soon hopefully), and I'm not sure whether it'll be implemented for v1, but that's where it'll be.

Also, the user can't select which cookies to delete within the mobile browser. They can only clear all private data (cookies and passwords).

See pg. 28 of my Security & Privacy Settings Spec for how this will work: http://people.mozilla.com/~lco/Settings_B2G/Release_1_Specs/R1_Security_and_Privacy_v2.pdf

(The Applications Page spec begins n pg. 26 if you would like more context)

@autonome , I'm considering the UX portion of this issue closed. Who do I need to pass this on to?

paul I think we will have a web & app panel to deal with this with new security architecture?

Yes, see page 13 of the spec Tif created here:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1178539#c4

But to my knowledge, no-one is actually on the hook for implementing this spec. Interested in helping out? :)
