Cookies keep coming even when not supposed to

I have been reading about evil Google bypassing Safari cookie settings, but it isn't just Google that seems to be finding a way in.
I have set prefs only to accept from places I visit not from 3rd parties or advertisers, yet I just went to a site and came away with cookies from google, google analytics and NINE apparent advertisers on the site's page.
Now, every time I use the browser, I finish the session and delete a lot of cookies. I do not have the option of choosing to block all cookies as many sites I visit regularly require a cookie for the site to function such as banks, financial sites, StatCounter, web mail, and others - even Apple wants cookies. I have even tested by turning on block all along with private browsing and still will often get google crap cookies.
The situation doesn't seem to be as prevalent on the iPad, though I now have 12 cookies from phobos.apple.com which just recently seemed to be appearing and multiplying.
i don't even use google, but use Yahoo for searches, yet I am removing google cookies multiple times in a day and getting really sick of those information theives planting their cookies on me!!!!! I just checked while posting this item and found I got a Google cookie after arriving on this forum and it had been cleared out immediately before I logged into the  Apple forum.
We need a way to flag cookies as junk (like in Mail) to block specific cookies from invading our privacy such as "We do no evil" Google.

I had this problem last night.  I submitted this bug under the SAFRI> Report bugs to Apple menu>
Please resubmit if I didn't report that the correct way.
Error in Safari Privacy Settings Description.  I've been trying to figure out why deleted cookies keep populating all night.  I've tried everything from resetting safari completely to deleting certain folders.  The prompt asks "Block cookies?" and I had tried setting both from third parties and "always" then removing and they keep repopulating even without browsing.  in fact, all i needed was to switch tabs on the privacy window and a lot of cookies would be back by the time I switch back.  This morning after seeing this page, I tried the "Never"(block cookies) option and the only thing it repopulates is a cookie"apple.com".  The problem is with the "always" setting, websites like facebook and google think I'm blocking cookies when it really is allowing everything.  Please review your code and iron out this section.  Then hire me.
In summary,
Always block cookies> deleted cookies comeback after a couple of seconds> facebook and google think you're blocking cookies and won't allow you in.
Never block cookies > only apple.com repopulates > allows facebook, but added a facebook cookie after i visited the site(didn't try google) (minutes later akamai cookie)
Block cookies from third parties and advertisers > deleted cookies come back after a couple of seconds >allows facebook and google, but not sure if it's blocking or allowing third parties
oh and as soon as you click on a radio button other than never, the cookie list gets full again.

  • HT1338 i've been getting an error when trying to play online games saying that i need to have the browser in 32 - bit mode. my browser is in 32 - bit mode but the msg keeps coming up and not running the game

    i've been getting an error when trying to play online games saying that i need to have the browser in 32 - bit mode. my browser is in 32 - bit mode but the msg keeps coming up and not running the game

    I dunno, that doesn't make any sense to me.
    I just shut down and rebooted into the SnowLeopard partition and took a peek at the preference panes.  There are only 3 that run in 32 bit only.  They are all 3rd party, and none of the prefpanes are non Intel.  Like I said, I have never owned a PPC machine.  Anyhow, SnowLeopard doesn't even have an iCloud prefpane, or a combined mail, contacts, and calenders prefpane, and the ML security and privacy prefpane is all new as well.  The software update prefpane is Intel and 64 bit in both SnowLeopard and Lion.
    As to the triple boot, unless I'm totally mistaken, what I have here is, in essence, 3 seperate descrete computers in one box.  All using the same hardware. but one at a time.  I wouldn't know how to get more than one running at the same time, without using a virtual machine, even if I wanted to.  (Which I don't)  I do sometimes transfer files from one to another using the shared folder, but other than that, they do not interact.  How could ML system preferences be trying to launch prefpanes from a totally different machine?

  • Do my itunes purchases keep downloading even when I'm not signed into itunes?

    I don't have enough time for my purchases to download completely, and I need to sign out of my itunes account, and I was just wondering, if I sign out without pausing my downloads, will they keep downloading? Because this is what I'm actually hoping for. It would be great if they could keep downloading even when I'm not signed in. I just don't know if they do or not.

    Hi junebeez,
    Have you gone into Settings and turned off the Sync Courses and Notes option? If not, try doing this:
    Go to Settings>iTunes U>Sync Courses and Notes, and see if it is = On. If it is, turn it Off and see if that fixes the problem.
    Hope this helps!

  • I need to know how to stop a notification that keeps coming up when playing a spades game, that keeps telling me to go to the game center. I even shut off the notifications in the settings, this is an anoying problem

    I need to know how to stop a notification that keeps coming up when playing a spades game, that keeps telling me to go to the game center. I even shut off the notifications in the settings, this is an anoying problem

    I'm pretty sure this is an Apple thing and you can't do anything about it. To get rid of the notification just do as it asks then try to forget about it.

  • The flashlight in my iphone 4s keeps lighting even when it is switched off. I went through many articles and in those was mentioned presence of humidity could be one reason, but my phone was not prone to such conditions

    The flashlight in my iphone 4s keeps lighting even when it is switched off. I went through many articles and in those was mentioned presence of humidity could be one reason, but my phone was not prone to such conditions & it is the condition when i took it from its pouch. Kindly help

    If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it.  You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does.  If it does, you will get an email informing you.

  • Stor.e TV+ No Loader error keeps coming up when switching on

    I have been experiencing continual problems accessing the hard drive. "No Loader" error message keeps coming up when switching on.
    The so-called "solution" to this problem posted on this forum is to open up the box and fiddle with the cables. Whilst I have had some success with this method initially, dismantling the box 10 times a week is not on.
    I tried something else in desperation.
    When the No Loader message comes up, I switch the box off and on again from the remote.
    After 2 or 3 times or so the HDD folder usually appears.
    I have been doing this consistently now with great success. This however suggests that the No Loader error message is NOT a mechanical connector problem with the hard drive but (as usual) poor software (what else?).
    Dismantling the unit is tantamount to switching it off for an extended period of time so may explain why this technique works.
    Switching the unit on and off several times also solves the problem of the D folder not appearing on the network even though Win7 shows Store-TV-Plus as a mapped NTFS drive (but can't find the D folder).
    See the similarity?
    Another thing that exacerbates problems is the unit's poor ventilation. The first thing that happens with this unit is that the rubbish stick-on rubber feet fall off.
    Whilst this may seem innocuous, the ventilation slots are underneath the unit and will be blocked if there are no feet. I live in a hot country so this device gets pretty hot and behaves even more erratically unless well ventilated.
    Ideally keep it well away from other units and preferably sit it on a small box by itself with the vents underneath well exposed.
    I also still experience problems playing FLAC and MKV files. The unit occasionally loses synch with FLAC files which generally otherwise play OK and locks up or causes loud bangs or white noise on the speakers (dangerous).
    Some MKV files just don't play at all even though VLC plays them. There are a myriad other inconsistencies but these are the most annoying.
    Is anyone else experiencing these problems or does anyone have any other solutions to prevent these problems?
    I don't suppose we can expect another software upgrade from Toshiba? In your dreams, pal.

    OK, so I took the risk and updated the firmware of my Stor.e TV+ to the Noontec V8S latest firmware V3.0816.13_V8S from noontec website.
    The update went fine without a hitch (took about 2 minutes from an old 256MB flash drive plugged into the back USB port of the unit, which I formatted before using), and some of the irritating shortcomings of the Toshiba firmware was solved. Samba worked in some fashion, but I was still not able to download songs directly to the Stor.e over wireless, which is the only other feature I currently need. The irritating remote control buttons were changed to the way any sane person would use them (I had changed my universal remote control to correct this, so would have to change the settings if I kept the updated firmware) The new firmware seems solid, but I DON'T USE THE VIDEO CAPABLITIES, so I can't comment on this.
    One major drawback of this update for me is that the small display on the unit becomes much less readable. Seems like there is a problem with the font on the new firmware. I use my Stor.e exclusively as a flac music player, and since I don't have it connected to a tv the small display is crucial for me to select tracks or disks. I have 300+ discs, so the Stor.e is an excellent cheap media player which I connect to my HIFI system via a DAC.
    I thus had to change back to the Toshiba firmware to correct this problem. Seems like I would still have to use USB to download music to the Stor.e when I buy new CDs. What a pity.
    Incidentally, the new Toshiba firmware is very much like the old firmware, in that it lacks the capability to switch on Samba. In the readme Toshiba states that the new firmware fixes a network problem, but I think that this is probably the smallest issue most users have with the Toshiba firmware.
    So, my advice to anyone having video, control or other issues with the Toshiba firmware is to flash to the Noontec firmware to see if it resolves their issues. If it doesn't one can always revert to the official Toshiba firmware as I did.
    You do this at your own risk though, if you brick your unit don't blame me...

  • "An unknown error occurred (-50)" keeps coming up when downloading music purchase?

    "An unknown error occurred (-50)" keeps coming up when downloading music purchase, 3 songs from the album came through but the last one is having problems. I've refereed to the itunes store FAQ and tried the solutions provided, but still not working?
    The firewall on the mac is turned on, however I don't have any Web Accelerators, Ad Filters and I've just recently uninstalled my Virus Protection Software.
    I'm not sure how to go about fixing this problem, and the solution provided by Apple doesn't seem to help me at all.
    Does anyone know? Thanks in advance! (:

    My wifi keeps coming on when i don't want it to. How do i disable it and keep it off?

    kcquestions,
    That's a very good question! It's important to be on the network you want to be on. How are you turning the wi-fi off? If you go into your settings there should be a wi-fi switch as the second option from the top. If we turn it off there it shouldn't come back on until you tell it to. If you select that and press the menu button (3 dots in the top right corner) you can also turn off "Allow wi-fi scanning" which can help not get notified of them when wi-fi is off.

  • I downloaded the new 7 update and now my iPad won't charge to 100% and loses power even when not in use ?

    i downloaded the new 7 update on my ipad. it now will not charge to 100% and loses power even when not in use. any solutions ??

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
    Then plug it in and let it fully charge.

  • I got a new email but ol email keeps coming up when i go to get an app but it wont let me in with my old password and if i go to get newpassword it sends it to my new email

    I GOT A NEW EMAIL BUT OLD EMAIL KEEPS COMING UP WHEN I GO TO GET AN APP BUT WHEN I GO TO CHANGE
    MY PASSWORD IT SENDS IT TO MY NEW EMAIL.

    Hi jackburkholder,
    You will need to delete the iCloud account with your old ID, but before you can do that, you will have to go back into Manage Your Apple ID, and change your Apple ID back to the old address. Don't worry about verifying it, you just need to change it.
    Then, go into Settings>iCloud and turn off Find My iPhone (it will ask you for a password - put in your current one to turn it off). Then, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and Delete the iCloud account using your current password.
    Also go into Settings>iTunes & App Store, clidk on your old ID and sign out of iTunes.
    Then go back to Manage Your Apple ID and put your new Apple ID back in.
    Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
    Go back into Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
    Cheers,

  • What is :  walletagent://Safari  keeps coming up when 'logging in' any website

    what is :  walletagent://Safari ?  it keeps coming up when 'logging in' any website. I then have to "page back" and enter passwords again etc.  I know it has nothing to do with "Wallet" Software. So where does it come from? and how get rid of it?
    Thanks,
    <Email Edited By Host>

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

    john

    Apps and other stuff you download are always linked to the ID you used to download.  You need to update the app with the ID that you used to download the app in the first place and the password for that ID
