Can't delete cookies
After installing the latest Safari and Itunes updates, I can no longer see or delete cookies. The security tab no longer displays the option "show cookies". It doesn't mention cookies at all.
Also, after installing the update, I can no longer see a list of my applications without opening system profiler.
Does anyone else have this problem? What can I do now? Thanks for any help you can give.

How can I delete cookies by date?
I've been using Firefox for a hundred years, and have 550 gazillion cookies. I like cookies. (I'm an affiliate marketer and people who advise my customers to delete their cookies drive me nuts.) I'd like to delete cookies > 5 years old. How can I do that?
(By the way, can you tell whomever administers this forum that the emails it sends to reset passwords aren't structured properly? That's why my email provider--GoDaddy--says they're not delivering those emails from you. The forum never accepts my passwords, and trying to reset does nothing, so every time I want to ask a question I have to create a new account.)Hi GaelicGal2, there is a forum on the Add-ons site where you can post a request for a new extension ([https://forums.mozilla.org/addons/viewforum.php?f=28 Add-on Ideas / Looking for an add-on • Mozilla Add-ons Forum]). Or if one of the existing extensions has the design you want and is just missing this one feature, perhaps it could be added more quickly than having one built from scratch. You could try contacting the author.
I don't know whether you tried the SQLite Manager extension I mentioned in my first reply. If you want to try that I could describe it in more detail. -
How can I delete cookies with fireox 4.0
i don' t see whwre I can delete old cookies in firefox 4.0
Orange Firefox Button(or Menu Bar>Tools)>Options>Privacy - down the page there are various settings for accepting and retaining cookies or not. "Show cookies" on the right hand side(don't touch "Exceptions) will show cookies, any of which you can remove or retain.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled 9.0.1, the same thing happens. Checked my Profile, cookies.sqlite is there when FF is closed or uninstalled. When installed and opened, I have 2 new files, cookies.sqlite-wal and cookies.sqlite-shm, along with cookies.sqlite. Is this the reason I can't delete cookies? Also I have, and have had enabled AdBlock Plus and Privacy Browsing. After updating, I can't post anything to FF Support (this is my 4th attempt, finally used Safari to post) and files under Tools, such as Clear History are accessible, I shouldn't have a History to delete.
(1st edit)
OK. I reinstalled FF 9.0.1 from Safari, but not directly from Mozilla. I used CNet, now things are working like they should. I have no cookies listed, except the ones I want. Private Browsing is working properly. However, I still have those 2 extra cookie files; -wal and -shm.
(2nd edit)
I spoke too soon. After accessing sites that I frequent, the 'ad' cookies are back (adbright, realmedia, 247realmedia) and the site cookies are eliminated, not there, gone. Now I can't login to anything and am back to Safari to access FF Support Forum. Do I have a bug? Someone please help, I'm desperate, I hate IE, Safari, Chrome, etc. They have neither the level of ad and pop-up elimination that Firefox has; nor, do they have the level of customization that Firefox has. The 2 extra cookie files, -wal and -shm, are still there when FF is open, and gone again when FF is closed. One more thing I noticed, I have a Chrome Support Application file in my Library. Could the Chrome cookie file interfere with FF cookies? I wouldn't think so, I have Safari, as well, and neither browser has ever interfaced with the other before.
(3rd edit)
I have uninstalled/reinstalled FF, all of my add-ons and also tried deleting the cookies.sqlite document from the FF Profile file, to no avail. I have counted, there are 14 sites listed in the Preferences>Privacy>Show Cookies pane (no pun intended) and they are all "ad" sites. These sites are also listed as blocked sites in Adblock Plus. Until someone answers, I give up, I don't know what else to do. There was only the one time that the cookies were gone from the Show Cookies pane, every other time I uninstalled/reinstalled anything, they were still there. So, until someone helps me, I'm stuck. The only thing I have not done is deleted the Profile file altogether. That is the last thing I want to do, unless I can save my bookmarks somewhere to move back after reinstallation. If this isn't rectified within a few days, I may just try that, too.Do you have an extension like TACO (Abine) or TrackerBlock that maintains a set of OPT-OUT cookies?
* Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out (TACO): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/targeted-advertising-cookie-op/
* TrackerBlock: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/trackerblock/
* Beef Taco (Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/beef-taco-targeted-advertising/
If you do then you need to disable or uninstall such an extension.
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file <i>cookies.sqlite</i> that stores the cookies is corrupted.<br />
Rename (or delete) <b>cookies.sqlite</b> (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like <b>cookies.sqlite-journal</b> in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Why has the option to delete cookies on quit been eliminated from preferences in Firefox 12
The "Privacy" preferences panel no longer offers the option to delete cookies on quit, as it did in Ffx 6, the version I updated from. Has this option been moved elsewhere? Has it been eliminated? If it has been eliminated, what is the last version that offers it? Could you please give me a '''specific, working''' URL where I can download the latest version that allows setting a "delete on quit" policy for cookies.
If Firefox puts the user first, why are your "updates" dumming down on user-settable options, especially one as important as an easy and convenient way to prevent cookies from hanging around till the next ice age. I realize I can manually delete cookies, but this is a pain in the rear, especially since I am missing most of my fingers. All those extra strokes that the ten fingered world dismisses as trivial really add up when you have only 2.5 fingers and one eye.Your image shows "Firefox will Remember History".
It has a dropdown arrow which usually shows -
"Firefox will Never Remember History" and, what you need,
"Firefox will Use Custom Settings". This opens a range of options.
Is this pair of dropdown arrows not working? -

I can no longer show or delete cookies from my MacBook Pro, since installing the latest update of Safari and Itunes.. Previously, I went to the security tab and clicked on the show cookies option, then opted to delete.. That option has now diappeared and a completely different security tab appears. The tab does not show a cookies option anywhere.
Also, I can no longer see a list of my software applications without opening system profiler.
Sure would appreciate your help. Thanks.Safari's cookies is broken, either intentionally or it's a bug.
You can search the forums for
safari cookies lion
and turn up plenty of threads.
If you need control over your browser cookies and other aspects of your web browser, I suggest you install Firefox.

I previously programmed Firefox to delete cookies when I log off. Now Yahoo! won't keep me logged on. Yahoo! tech said to restore cookie memory. I don't remember how I took that action. How can I go back and change that setting to retain cookies?

How can I delete history and cookies without opening safari?
seems like I may have virus, a website keeps popping up and says I may have an infection and I am to call a number. If I close safari, when I reopen it that same website automatically opens up. I can't get to the menu to delete cookies or history as the pop up blocks it all Help!
To recover from that read "Ransomware" web pages.

I can't selectively delete cookies on safari
MY ipad2 has ios 8.1.3 and I would like to delete Safari cookies without losing anything in my web page reading list. I tried to follow directions for this I found on the web, but my Safari settings did not show a button that deletes only cookies. Do I have to get out of all web pages before I can do that? What is the secret?
To delete Cookies choose Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.
This will have no effect on your Reading List. -
How can I prevent deleted cookies from coming back?
I have deleted cookies via preferences - security - show cookies - erase all cookies
But after some minutes they all show up again. What can I do to delete them completely?

Cookies can only be set by web sites that you visit, so you don't have any cookies from web sites you haven't visited.
Cookies can come from sites that a person hasn't visited neither, and Facebook is tracking users of web sites they visit even AFTER they have logged out of FaceBook.
Safari likely recreates the cookies even after a user deletes them because of HTML 5, or perhaps with TopSites. Just started occuring too, like in the last few issues.

HTML 5 is bringing a whole host of spyware possibilities...

Also there is a thing called a Evercookie, which is based in Javascript and can recreate cookies from any other cookie already on the machine.

One has to use Firefox and the add-ons called Click&Clean, BetterPrivacy along with Ghostery, Ad Block Plus.
NoScript to prevent scripts from running automatically, one has to drag a "Temporaily Allow" button up to the toolbar to click it on "safe" sites.
I trust the independent developers working to keep their FF add-ons current to combat the latest privacy threats, as Firefox is more "the browser for the users" than any other.
It's getting insane trying to keep one's machine clean, and iOS users have no chance in heck as they are closed devices. -
Hello,
I can't delete my cookies even with the method setMaxAge(0)
Here is my code :
Cookie cookie=null;
Cookie cookies[]=request.getCookies();
if (cookies!=null)
for(int i=0; i<cookies.length; i++)
cookie=cookies;
if (cookie!=null)
cookie.setMaxAge(0);
cookie=new Cookie(cha�neCookies,cha�neCookies);
response.addCookie(cookie);
I use the breakpoint and my application pass on cookie.setMaxAge(0)
but setMaxAge doesn't delete my cookie.
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advanceNobody can help me, please.

How can I delete history without deleting cookies on safari yosemite?
how can I delete history without deleting cookies on safari yosemite?
actually, if I click on history and go to bottom and delete history, with Yosemite, it will delete cookies and all... I get message: if you delete history, you will delete cookies and other information from web sites.
to avoid that the procedure is this: History > Show History>Select All>Delete.
thanks for trying to help.
good day.
