Clicking to never accept cookies does not work.

I hate cookies and I've been playing with the security options in safari and even when I put to never accept cookies most cookies still come through. Even site i did not visit in that session. What is going on?

Mac OS X 10.7.1, Safari 5.1 (German)
I also didn´t understand what´s the cookies setting is for, cause I thought it doesn´t change the behaviour of Safari. After emptiing the cookies, the are still back after a few minutes, even if you say "never accept" (or something else, I use the German version).
The APlle-Hotline explained to me this:
There are different kind of cookies. Some are used from the websites and read by them, some are only used by safari to manage the stored information in the cache, even it is disabled. It should work like this (I have to translate it into English and hope it looks similar in the English version):
- Always block:
Cookies are stored but are not able to send any information to the website. Also a lot of websites doesn´t work correctly, for example the login on Apple
- Never block: Accept everysthing and allow the website to send information.
- Block cookies from third parties and advertisement-websites:
Something in between: Allow the websites you visit to send information.
In every case, the Cookies-List will fill very fast. But I hope that untruthful websites only get the information if you chosse "never block".
My solution: Use "block cookies from third parties...", use "resetting Safari" every time you login into Google, Facebook etc. and make sure to check the box "delete all website-data" in the window which appears.

    IPOD model A1059 appears frozen and is unresponsive to all click wheel entries. Reset does not work.  Does not show up in ITunes or in Windows Explorer.  What is the problem and is there a fix?

    If you are unable to reset the iPod (assuming the hold switch is not in the On position either), then you'll have to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then connect it to a charger and leave it to charge for a couple of hours.

  • My Firefox can no longer open new tabs. I click the icon but it does not work. How can I fix this?

    The "+" icon that opens new tabs does not open a tab.

    With Firefox version 4 and 5, the default setting is ''not'' to ask the question for saving the session. You can get back that behavior by modifying the options as below:<BR><BR>
    # In the address bar, type '''about:config''' and press Enter.
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of options.
    # In the '''Filter''' textbox at the top, type '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose'''
    # You will be presented with the entry for '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose'''. If its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''.
    # Repeat these steps for options''' browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning''' and set their values to '''true'''.

  • Cannot open files with a double click !! Trackpad solution does not work, just makes my cursor move slowly. Have not found a solution in forums. Help needed please!!

    I cannot open files by double clicking ... have looked at forums and no solution yet !!! Control click is the only way i can open files
    "If you go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse and Trackpad -  You can set the speed of the double click to be much slower.   Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem. "  this solution did not work it just made my cursor move at a snails pace.
    Thanks for any help forthcoming !!!

    found this on another websites forum .... it worked
    I figured it out. Thanks everyone!
    I had to turn on my wireless mouse... And even though I wasn't using my wireless mouse and just the trackpad...I had to turn on my wireless mouse then adjust those settings...Had to turn down the speed. Then Once I shut the mouse off and started to use the trackpad again it works perfectly.
    I'm not sure why the mouse settings would change the trackpad settings but it did.

  • Double clicking to open new tab does not work anymore

    Am I loosing my mind?
    I have been opening tabs like this for years, now it is not working.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks
    Laura

    HI Laura,
    Check Safari Preferences then select Tabs. Make sure your preferences haven't changed for that then select the General tab. Check your tabs prefs there also.
    If nothing is amiss there, go to your Safari menu bar, click Safari / Empty Cache or Command + Option + E on your keyboard.
    If that doesn't help, from the Safari menu bar click, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
    Also, if you have any Safari Extensions installed or Safari third party unsupported add-ons, that could be why you are having problems with your Tabs.
    For troubleshooting third party add-ons, follow the instructions here. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3230?viewlocale=en_US
    You can access Safari Extensions in the Safari / Preferences pane.

  • Events Click Set Property Fill Color does not work.

    Setting Stroke Color does work.  Setting Fill Color is accepted by the user interface, but nothing happens.  I was applying this to a Basic Circle Shape.
    Until this is fixed, my alternative is to define a "custom event".  I have assigned a name to a "custom event" but can find no way to define it's action.  Can anyone help me with this or point me to the documentation on this?
    Thanks.

    You also need to register the fields which you want F4 event to become active for.
    DATA: it_f4 TYPE lvc_t_f4,
            wa_f4 TYPE lvc_s_f4.
      wa_f4-fieldname = 'CONNID'.
      wa_f4-register = 'X'.
    *     wa_f4-GETBEFORE = 'X'.   "if you want to trigger before F4
    *      wa_f4-CHNGEAFTER = 'X'. "or just after it
      APPEND wa_f4 TO it_f4.
      CALL METHOD g_alv_grid_ref->register_f4_for_fields
        EXPORTING
          it_f4 = it_f4.

  • The mouse right-click (to copy-paste) menu does not work correctly.

    The mouse right-click copy-paste menu often fails in Firefox 4. If I highlight something to copy and then use the mouse to right-click on it, the menu will appear down and to the right. Second, the highlighted command (i.e. copy, paste, etc) will be two steps beneath the mouse pointer. Third, if one chooses "copy" for example, your highlighted text might or might not (usually Not) be copied. This works as expected (perfectly) on this Firefox site, but fails on all other web pages. Note: This is a "company computer" where I am not an administrator.

    I am the admin on my PC, and I am not able to select the copy page after I have highlighted an area. I can if a link select copy link, but in short no more copy paste feature on this new Firefox.

    WHAT THE HECK IS IN THIS "UPDATE" (misnomer, really)?
    It has no description and this forum post is the closest thing to an explanation of it that I could find...
    I had no software updates as of yesterday morning. Then, yesterday, I installed HP's total junk driver for my PSC 2210, then tried to do the update hack from 7.9 to 9.whatever and it also failed to get the scanning function working ("Open with Rosetta" also was useless), so I uninstalled both and wiped all HP entries off my iMac, and just used the Gutenprint 5.1 (5.1.3) driver I got online for it (actually, I stole HP's icon for the PSC 2210 - it's the only WORTHWHILE file in their trash software) and added the APPrinterIconPath entry myself:
    http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2004/qa1352.html
    ...and then re-GZIP'd the file and put it back (saving the original).
    It's been printing fine for the last 24 hours (but it's otherwise the LAST HP paperweight I'll EVER buy again!).
    Now, a day later, this bizarre update comes and does seemingly NOTHING!
    I checked my drivers in /usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.1/C/ and NOTHING has changed at all:
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 11235 Jul 5 01:29 stp-hp-psc_2210.5.1.ppd.gz
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 11357 Sep 24 2007 stp-hp-psc_2210.5.1.ppd.gz.ORIG
    ...so what the heck just got installed by this mystery/useless update? I'm still printing fine and it's still using my hacked .gz file with the pretty icon, so what good is this update at all???
    I can't find any package file from today in any receipts folder anywhere, and all I have is the log entry:
    2008-07-05 21:57:53 -0400: Installed "HP Printer Drivers Update" (1.0)
    APPLE? How about some real info. here?!
    Anyone?
    Leopard's search feature is AWFUL. It can't find anything of legit importance, so I wind-up using find and grep in the Terminal.

  • My cursor does not open many links.  If I get a message on Linkedin the "Accept" rectangle does not work when I put my cursor on it.

    M cursor changs from an arrow to the text (tall I) icon when I move it over links and "unsubscribes" and I can't respond to either Facebook or Likedin buttons.

  • Deleting cookies, either one at a time or all, does not work; they reappear when I go back to view them. This is a critical privacy problem!

    Removing cookies does not work, either one at a time, or remove all. I tried from history and from the options screen. They appear to go away but when I go back in they are all back again. This is happening in the latest version that was automatically updated.'''bold text'''

    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/
    In that case you need to remove such an extension to get rid of those cookies.

  • Google talk video plugin does not work any more with Firefox 4. When clicking on the video chat icon, I am repeatedly asked to install the plugin, and it never works.

    Google talk audio/video plugin used to work fine on Firefox 3, but does not work anymore on Firefox 4. Every time I click on the video chat icon on google talk, I am asked to install the plugin, even if I have already installed it before. The plugin works properly on the latest version of IE on the same PC.
    Thanks for your help. I do not want to switch to Chrome or Opera, but if this bug is not fixed, I will have to.

    Not sure if installing IE 9 did it or not but I now see the camera in IE, FF and Chrome. Could be Facebook fixed the problem also.
    Thanks for the reply.
