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.

Can you help me with problems from latest update of Safari and ITunes. I can no longer delete cookies as I once did, because the security tab no longer displays the show cookies option. Can anyone please help?

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.

Has anyone ever encountered a "shockwave player error" window when deleting cookies in Safari preferences under privacy?

This window appears multiple times whenever I try to delete cookies. This afternoon, on the amazon.com site, the window kept opening and would not allow me to do anything else. I had to shut down my iMac and restart several times before I could get it working again. I have had this problem for a couple of years now(even when I was running previous operating systems). What is the deal here, and can it be fixed?

I was having the same problem after updating to the Safari 5.1.2 and noticed, also, that the cookies wren't really clearing... after opening preferences again (after clearing them), there would be a few that would be added back.
I think it's all related to a cookie issue that started with the safari update.
I went back to Safari 5.05 using Pacifier as it wouldn't install under Leopard 10.6.8 which I am running.

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?
Thanks for your help!

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...
https://www.networkworld.com/news/2010/082010-html5-raises-new-security.html
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.

And of course Flash cookies are well known now

WebBugs too

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.

Deleting cookies in Safari

I need to delete some cookies from Safari and according to some forums all I have to do is go to Safari / Preferences / Security / Cookies, however the "Cookies" option doesn't exist in OSx 10.6.8? Can anyone help please?

It may be within the Privacy tab - as at http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5049

Can't select text on a safari search results page

Hi, I'm using an Ipad 3 I have safari sset to use the google search in settings
but when I search for something and it shows the results page I can only select links holding my finger on the text below the link does nothing.
sometimes the answer i'm looking for is in the text and I can just copy it instead of having to click the link to see it.

I found out that you gotta do a double tap and hold the only problem is its cumbersome and it only works if safari is set to search google or yahoo if it's set to use bing it does not work at all..
I've added the code below which will unlock the text select feature when selecting text on a search results page
I wrote this java script which allows you to just press and hold on the text to select it.. gets rid of having to double tap and hold and acts like select does on all the other apps. It will also work if your search engine is set to bing.
to use you will need 2 book marks 1 book mark is for google & yahoo the other is for bing
add any book mark then go into it and edit it, in the title type "Unlock Text Selection"
just below the title paste this javascript in
javascript:void(s = 'hdurj123'); s = '(' + s + ')'; x = new RegExp(s, 'gi'); rn = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100); rid = 'z' + rn; b = document.body.innerHTML; b = b.replace(x, '<span name=' + rid + ' id=' + rid + ' style=\'color:#000;background-color:white; font-weight:bold;\'>hdurj123</span>'); void(document.body.innerHTML = b);
then save it under the book marks bar
create a second bookmark and edit it
in the title type "Unlock Selection Bing" and below that past this java script in
javascript:void(s = 'results'); s = '(' + s + ')'; x = new RegExp(s, 'gi'); rn = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100); rid = 'z' + rn; b = document.body.innerHTML; b = b.replace(x, '<span name=' + rid + ' id=' + rid + ' style=\'background-color:white; font-weight:bold;\'>results</span>'); void(document.body.innerHTML = b);
if your search engine is set to yahoo or google:
fire up safari and do a search for something
when the search results show click on the bookmark "Unlock Text Selection"
now you will be able to just press and hold on the text to select it and if you move it around you can select individual words.
if your search engine is set to bing
fire up safari and do a search for something
when the search results show, click on the bookmark "Unlock Selection Bing"
now you will be able to select text with just a press and hold and even individual words
this only works for search results pages I tried it on a page after I clicked the link and it caused safari to display the page source instead of the page.. I just use it for searches
here's an example of setting up the bookmark:
here's what it looks like on a bing search if your search engine is set to bing, in settings:
you can see that I was able to select the individual words, *** if your in portrait you may have to zoom in a bit *** landscape works without having to zoom at all

Can't selectively delete image datatype BLOB data on SQL Server

Hi all,
I have a huge amount of BLOB data on an SQL Server 2008 DB (10.0.5500), in a table with an image datatype column. I need to selectively delete it from datafiles using a where filter on the table.
I tried to use UPDATETEXT dbo.TBL_EMAILOUTBOUND_DSC.DESC_RAWDATA
@ptrval 0 NULL;
loading the pointer with a previous filtered select, according
documentation it should work, but it's not true. Do I make any mistake or forget something? If you need I can show the hole script.
Thank you in advance
Andrea

Can you auto delete history in safari

IIs there a setting to auto delete browsing history?

Hi kfkoffe,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you would like to keep your browsing history private, you can use the Private Browsing feature in Safari. Please read over the attached article for information on using Private Browsing.
Turn Private Browsing on or off on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Private Browsing protects your private information and blocks some websites from tracking your behavior. Safari won't remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information.
Best regards,
Joe

IOS Mail Retaining All Email, Can't Selectively Delete Old Messages

Thought I missed something in setup for my POP3 accounts, but apparently not. Got almost a years worth of email on the device with thousands of messages, many with large attached files, and no apparent way to trim it down. Unlike every other mobile PDA device I’ve ever owned, there is no way to set a limit to how many days/months/years of email messages that an iPhone will retain. There is also no way to selectively choose email messages for deletion based on how many days/months/years old they are. Am I missing something fairly obvious here?

Webmail on a server has no effect on POP3 clients, like the iPhone's IOS mail. Once they're picked up by the email client, only the client, itself, can access them.
Email clients for more than 30 years have had this basic function. Absolutely amazing that Apple deliberately left it out of this one.

How do I delete cookies from Safari 8.0 without the GUI?

I have Safari 8.0 (10600.1.25.1) on OS X 10.10.1 (14B25) (Yosemite). When I quit Safari completely (actually quit, not just close the window), and delete the following things using the following.
rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/
rm -r ~/Library/Cookies
rm -r ~/Library/Safari
When I restart Safari, the cookies are still there and I'm still logged in to a website that stored a cookie after login.
Which files do I need to delete or what do I have to do to get Safari to actually delete the cookies?
I need to be able to move/rename the files/directories and then move them back at a later time...
thanks!

You should be able to export bookmarks from Safari by using File > Export Bookmarks and choosing where to put the file. Then open Firefox bookmarks window from "Show All Bookmarks" and import the file you saved from Safari.

Why can't I delete cookies from my iMac anymore?

The "show cookies" and "remove them" options are no longer showing in the Safari preferences menu, and it's no longer a part of the "Reset Safari". Did Apple remove them and leave us stuck with unwelcome cookies for the rest of the iMac's life?

Sounds like you have a lot of persistent (i.e. self-regenerating) cookies.
To begin with, block Flash Cookies (Locally Stored Objects). In System Preferences / Other / Flash Player, check the option to "block all sites..."
Then hit the Delete All button. (Have a look first under the settings button if you wish)
That will take care of one kind of persistent cookie, but you should also read these articles;
http://ashkansoltani.org/docs/respawn_redux.html
http://samy.pl/evercookie/
I would also recommend Little Snitch, which will allow you to block Safari and other apps from contacting those sites.
