How do I disable all cookies in Chrome?

Google Chrome is probably the most secure browser among the big three ( two? ). To get the most out of Chrome, but not give it much, users can disable some tracking abilities of the browser.

Previously, disabling cookies was a presented in the settings tab. However, over the last few years, Google's engineers have taken steps to bury this setting, and make it very hard to find.

In a dark-pattern, the setting to disable all cookies does not contain the keyword "cookie". Instead, it is found under the siteData option.

Disable Cookies via the chrome://settings/content/siteData settings. Select the Don't allow sites to save data on your device option.
