Are iPad Safari's Cookies And Website Data The Same Thing?

Are they the same, and do they collect indefinitely until you manually clear them?

Sheden-
It is not clear if they are the same thing, but I do not believe so.  There are two places to manually delete Data:
1.  Settings - Safari - Clear Cookies and Data
2.  Settings - Safari - Advanced - Website Data - Remove All Website Data
I tried clearing Cookies and Data, and the data previously listed under "Website Data" went away.  When I tried just "Remove All Website Data", it went away again.  I can not tell if Cookies also went away since I do not know how to examine them.
After clearing the website data, images on a facebook page had to reload when I revisited it.  Normally they come up immediately.  I know the images are definitely not "Cookies"!
As far as I kinow, website data collects indefinitely.  I suggest you search the web for information about Cookies, to see if they have a limited lifetime.

  • Are "working copies", "project files" and "editing files" the same thing?

    Hello.
    I have just joined the Adobe Forums as a newbie starting right at the bottom. I am still unfamiliar with the terms "working copies", "project files" and "editing files".
    I wonder if someone will help me to know the difference between these terms.
    I have just started the Dreamweaver tutorial, "Creating your first website, Part 1: Set up your site and project files" (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_website_pt1.htm).
    The tutorial read, "You've now defined a local site folder for the Check Magazine site. This is where you keep the working copies of web pages on your local computer.".

    Why would the raid level make any difference at all?  My data files are all stored on a RAID 4 system and seems to do pretty well.
    Murray *ACP*,
    If I may elaborate on this,
    being completely new to Dreamweaver, my reason for having wondered whether it would be a good idea or a bad idea to have these files on disks that are in RAID 0, was because the term project files in the Dreamweaver Tutorial had me thinking of Premiere Pro project files and the performance increase working with such project files in a RAID 0 setup, which (provided there is backup) is especially beneficial if you have large or complex projects, long time-lines and a tight deadline,
    especially considering that as fill rates of disks go up, and as the number of disk activities on a disk go up, performance goes down, sometimes by 50%, and that the more tracks you have in your project, the more strain is put on your disk, and the more applications you have open, the more your pagefile is used, especially on systems with limited memory.
    Therefore, as RAID 0 offers the best performance increase over a single disk,  I immediately thought of the concept of project files related to Premiere Pro when I came across the term project files in the Dreamweaver Tutorial, being unfamiliar with the definition of project files in Dreamweaver world, hence my need to define project files related to Dreamweaver with reference to disk setup and file management.
    However, if I understand correctly, my conclusion is that RAID 0 is not necessary for Dreamweaver project files, since the local site is not disk intensive, unless you have a huge website to build ?
    Also, if I understand correctly, in website design, you want to minimize local files and use your hosting company to store and retrieve info from ?

  • Can't seem to Remove Cookies and Website Data

    Every time I try removing all cookies and website data from my macbook pro... it keeps coming back, as if I didn't remove anything!... What's happening? ... I'm going to Safari/Preferences/Privacy/Remove All Website Data... then clicking the "Remove All" button, and All the cookies dissapear ... then I restart my computer, and when I go back and check, all the cookies and website data are still there!.... any clues?

    This has been the case for  years.
    Google alone once launched after removing cookies, installs many of the same cookies.
    Safari > Preference > Privacy > Remove "All Website Data"
    Do it twice.
    Next do a "Reset Safari" from the Safari menu.

  • No way to delete history without deleting cookies and website data

    Unless I'm missing it, there's no way to delete browsing history without also deleting cookies and website data. Apple, please give us a separate option to delete only the history!

    I don't think you're missing it. Way to go Apple!

  • Got my daughter an ipod touch 4th and it wont dothe back up from itunes? I bought my other daughter an iphone 4 and its doing the same thing. Both are locking up itunes too.

    Got my daughter an ipod touch 4th and it wont dothe back up from itunes? I bought my other daughter an iphone 4 and its doing the same thing. Both are locking up itunes too. I tried the deactivate/activate that was suggested it still didnt work. I took the ipod to a friend and hooked to her laptop and it synced fine but now trying to sync on mine it wont do it and it has the backup encryption on but no passwords will unlock it. itunes will reccognize the ipod and the iphone but while going thru the sync steps they both get to step 2 then lock up itunes and then says its syncing but will never stop. I am very frustrated and am regretting buying products from Apple.

    It seems to be a glitch or bug. Its been officially acknowledged and addressed by Apple. There is no resolution other than waiting for a few days.   The Kb article by Apple states it will fix itself on January 7.

  • Can i transfer everything from one ipad to another so both have exactly the same things

    Can i transfer everything from one ipad to another so both have exactly the same things?

    Yes. Copy your apps and other iTunes purchases/downloads to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you have iTunes 11 on your computer), then backup up the first iPad and restore that backup onto the second iPad.
    Backups and restores : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
    Things that aren't included in a backup include the contents of the Music and Videos apps (but they should be on your computer's iTunes) and photos that were synced from a computer. Also you will need to enter your passwords (email, wifi, website) on the second iPad - they won't be restored onto a different device, only back onto the device that the backup came from.

  • I am trying to add the Youtube widget, but I get a black box saying blocked plugin. I have even tried to embed it from Youtube as well and it does the same thing. But when I drag the Vimeo widget over, it connects like it should. What am I doing wrong and

    Make sure that both the web browser you're using and its Flash plug-in are up to date. Google Chrome has its own Flash plug-in it updates on its own. Firefox, IE and other have separate plug-ins.

  • HT201210 could not back up iphone to this computer.  I have bought a new phone iphone 4 and it says the same thing. though I have another iphone 3 that backs up perfectly to this computer every time. why?

    I had 2 iPhone 3G's, one of them screwed up and wouldn't recieve service. Up until then when I backed them up to my computer all was good, then one of them would update and all but a screen would pop up and tell me it couldn't back up to my computer.  Recently I replaced the bad tele with an iPhone 4 and it does the same thing while the other iPhone 3G still backs up fine.......What up!!!  Help please.   Don't wanna lose my info..

    I banged my head on the wall with the same problem for two days.  Tried everything mentioned, and this worked, finally.  The problem is that the backup files are not where you think they are.
    You need to delete the MobilSync backup folder.  I have a Mac.  Went to /Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup and deleted the Backup folder. 
    Fixed the problem.  Give it a try and good luck!

  • HT201401 My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing.

    My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing. I can still hear when i make calls too. The the output button only says dock connector or apple tv.

    If the phone has ever gotten wet it may be damaged. It may also have dirt or a bent pin in the dock connector or the earphone jack. Try cleaning the dock connector and inspecting it with a magnifying glass. Try inserting and removing the earphone plug several times. If you have restored it and that did not fix the problem damage is the most likely cause.
