Removing Cookies

Hi,
I really need some help.
1. When will a cookie be destroyed when its maxAge is set to 0?
Will navigating from one page to another kill it?
2. There's a cookie called "JSESSIONID" which just won't get
removed!. I use this code which I think will remove
all cookies:
Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
for(int i=0;i<cookies.length;i++)
cookies.setMaxAge(0);
response.addCookie(cookies[i]);
Is there anything wrong with the code, because sometimes it works,
sometimes it don't, but it can never remove "JSESSIONID"
Thanks for any help.

I removed cookies and now I can't get into Tagged. How do I undo this???

I went to Tools, Options, Privacy, and removed all cookies. Now I can't get into Tagged. I don't know what I did different, because I have removed cookies before and this did not happen.

Thank you so much! You're a genius! :-)

Can't print calendar in yahoo,they suggested remove cookies,etc, will we lose everything?

I opened a chat with yahoo about my calendar printing the header across the page but not the fri and sat positions below that.
I was told that they can and I should remove cookies, etc., will we have to reenter everything - passwords, etc. again.

Which site are you trying to get a calendar off of? Also do you check print preview before you print? Could just be you need to select horizontal or vertical before you print.

That's the only way I know of and I couldn't find anything on the net that there is a problem with clearing the history and removing cookies.

Macbookpro How to remove Cookies? When go to help and clk on how to remove cookies the page is blank?

Juno Email will not download the inbox, Juno Tech says 1st remove cookies. Mac Help has "how to remove cookies" but when clk the page is blank?

What application are you taking about?
Safari has the option to remove them in the privacy or security tab of the preferences. Also try 'Safari > Reset Safari' it may allow you to select an option to delete the cookies.
I don't know what 'Juno email' is. If it is failing in a Safari you may want to try another web browser, like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox?

"Don't allow sites that set removed cookies to set future cookies"

I'm having a problem shopping and/or logging onto esteelauder.com (a site I have shopped from for years). Their tech folks indicated the problem appears to be with cookies and I should make sure that "Don't allow sites that set removed cookies to set future cookies" is not marked. I cannot find this in FF 3.6.15. I have removed all cookies related to this web site, but the problem still exists. I went to another computer to make sure it was not the web site, and was able to add items to the cart and log on with no problem. I am using a PC with Windows 7. This problem has just shown up in the last couple of weeks and so far only appears to be on this web site.

* You can see the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
* Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
* In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
* Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.

If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Remove cookies? Why and how often?

Remove Cookies? Why and how often? Option seems to be different now that I'm running Mountain Lion.

The only reason to remove Cookies is if your concerned about being tracked and your privacy. It's futile to keep removing Cookies from sites you frequently visit.
In your browser settings, you should set the cookie preferences to block cookies from third parties and advertisers. In Safari you do that in Preferences/Privacy.
In Safari you can also set Preferences/Privacy to ask websites not to track me
If you delete the apple.com cookie, you will need to constantly sign into iTunes because the apple.com cookie contains the iTunes username and password.

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.

Firefox 13.0.1 stops responding when removing cookies on my MacBook Air

Firefox 13.0.1 stops responding and I have to force it to quit when I try to clear cookies on my MacBook Air using
Tools->Clear Recent History->cookies selected
Preferences->Privacy->Clear Recent History when Firefox Closes->cookies selected
In either case, if I do not select cookies I have no problem.
Preferences->Privacy->Show Cookies->Remove All cookie has no problem.
I can recover simply by forcing Firefox to quit then restarting Firefox. I then deselect cookies in both cases and Firefox acts normally.
I do not have this problem on my MacBook Pro. Both the Pro and Air have been rebuilt from erased discs within the last several weeks.
This is similar to the thread "Firefox Stops Responding After Adobe Flash 11.3.300.262 Installed" (should be .257)" but in this case I do not access a flash site, FlashBlock is installed, and Flash is disabled. The recovery from this problem is very intrusive since I have to delete every file that says "Firefox" and reinstall Firefox.

I have tried the new Flash on my MacBook Pro using Firefox 13.0.1 at the same USA Today Crossword site, puzzle 6/25/2012 and I do ''' not''' have this problem.
The variations I see are
* I used the same DMG to put Adobe Flash on both machines and they are both at 11.3.300.257, 11.3 r300
* I used the same DMG to put Firefox 13.0.1 on both machines
* The MacBook Pro is 15" (late 2011) OS X 10.7.4 build 11E53
* The MacBook Air is 13" (June 2012) OS X 10.7.4 build 11E2705
* Both are the latest available OS X levels for their respective platforms.
* Both platforms have been built from erased discs and Apple recovery discs within the last few weeks. (The Air was rebuilt yesterday, 6/24).
* The OS X 10.7.4 software is at different build levels and additional software has been installed to support the Air.
* I have Shockwave Director 11.6.3r633 installed on the MacBook Pro
My findings:
* On the MacBook Pro, Firefox at the specified Flash site work as advertised
* On the MacBook Air, Firefox at the same flash site stops respondings and must be force quit.
Open questions:
* Must I have Shockwave Director also installed?
* Does the OS X software build level have an effect of some sort?
* Does the model series of the MacBooks - late 2011 and June 2012 - affect the problem. The Air has only been available in the within the last few weeks and I ordered it the day it became available.
Does the pointing circle become "shift one left" or "shift one right"?

How do I clear and remove cookies using safari 7.1

How do I delete cookies. Using safari 7.1

What is listed under Safari>Preferences>Privacy?
In version 8 you delete cookies by "Remove All Website Data..." from that place

Is the Adobe cookie removal on the pull-down menu now included in the general remove cookies procedure?

In your last version I was able to pull down the extra Adobe cookie removal selection from the Tools menu. I don't see it in the new version. Has it been incorporated into the general cookie removal process?
Now using version 36.0.4, Windows 8.1
Thanks

That might have been a feature of an extension like [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/betterprivacy/ Better Privacy] that helps with removing Adobe Flash LSO's (Flash cookies).
During your upgrade, do you recall using Firefox's Refresh feature? This can happen when Firefox starts up slowly and says in order to make it less sluggish you can refresh/restore the browser. And an Old Firefox Data folder appear on your desktop. Do you find anything like that? If so, that could explain how you lost some of your add-ons.

Cannot remove cookies from XP. Firefox 17

I have Firefox set to delete cookies when closed. After I close Firefox, I usually run CC Cleaner. In the Analysis, CC Cleaner shows 307 cookies using a total of 0 space.
In XP, I went to Options, Privacy, and Show Cookies. There are probably 307 shown. When I click to Remove All Cookies nothing happens. When I highlight one cookie and click to Remove, nothing happens. When I open the particular cookie folder and see the cookie, highlight it and click Remove, that cookie seems to disappear for an instant, but when I click on the next one, the first one returns.
I want ALL evidences of all these cookies OFF my computer.
How do I accomplish that?

If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox Profile Folder in

Applescript to remove cookie from Safari

A web site I have to visit regularly loads faulty cookies that do not auto-delete as they are supposed to. As a result the next time I log in, days later, I get a message that my session has "timed out". I can use the Safari preferences and delete the offending cookies manually.
Would some one be so kind as to write a script that would automate this for me. There are 6 cookies from the website "dbiweb.sfgov.org" the cookie names are "style", "ASP,NET_SessionId", "_utmz", and "__utma"
Any useful response will be sincerely appreciated and good Karma will rain upon you.
A sincere thanx, in advance.

If you don't mind using [GUI Scripting|http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/uiscripting/index.html], you might try this:
*set theWebsite to "dbiweb.sfgov.org"*
--However I tested the script with "sfdbi.org" instead of "dbiweb.sfgov.org"
*tell application "Safari" to activate*
*tell application "System Events" to tell process "Safari"*
*click menu item 4 of menu 1 of menu bar item 2 of menu bar 1* -- Preferences…
*tell window 1*
*click button -2 of tool bar 1* -- Security
*click button 1 of group 1 of group 1* -- Show Cookies
*keystroke theWebsite* -- enter the Website string
*keystroke tab*
*delay 1* -- (optional, just for visual feedback)
*keystroke "a" using command down* -- Select All
*click button 1 of sheet 1* -- Remove (without alert)
*end tell*
*keystroke return* -- Done
*keystroke "w" using command down* -- close the Security window
*end tell*
