How do I enable the chrome browser to allow local cookies? --enable-file-cookies

I am currently working with cookies on my local machine and for some reason when I try to look at the cookies it says "By default cookies are disabled for local files. You could override this by starting the browser with --enable-file-cookies command line flag". I tried going into my chrome file location, I left clicked under properties and changed the command line flag after the "target" but that didn't work. I'm not sure how I can enable local cookies at this point.

Why are cookies not enabled?

Click 'Tools' (the gear icon) in the browser toolbar. Choose Internet Options. Click the Privacy tab, and then, under Settings, move the slider to the top to block all cookies or to the bottom to allow all cookies, and then click OK.

Should I allow all cookies on Chrome?

It's a good idea to decline third-party cookies. If you don't decline, the website could sell your browsing data to third parties. Sharing your personal information with third parties without giving you any control over it could also leave you vulnerable.

What does it mean when it says cookies must be enabled?

Most websites need you to enable cookies in order for them to work. Cookies are small bits of data which websites can store on your computer as you browse their site. Cookies are typically used to help websites remember that you've logged in, or perhaps to store your personal preferences for that website.

It would seem that the --enable-file-cookies flag has been removed for all platforms except android.
