from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.set_page_load_timeout(7)

def urlOpen(url):
    try:
        driver.get(url)
        print(driver.current_url)
    except:
        driver.delete_all_cookies()
        print("Failed")
        return

urls = ['http://motahari.ir/', 'https://facebook.com', 'https://google.com']

for url in urls:
    urlOpen(url)

Actually, this question was Python Selenium. How to use driver.set_page_load_timeout() properly?.

The modified code above works just fine usually, but strangely, about 2 out of 10 times delete_all_cookies() throws timeoutException. I tried adding another try-catch block, implicit/explicit wait, or time.sleep before delete_all_cookies() but all didn't work.

I have no idea why and how delete_all_cookies() throws timeoutException... Is there any way to prevent that?

Sometimes, I get

    2 years later, I am also experiencing this. I am catching the exception and moving on, but I would like it to actually delete the cookies. Commented Jun 8, 2019 at 21:36
