Safari 4.0.5 and cookie management

Ok, this is weird. I have set my preferences under Safari security to "manually" when it comes to deleting cookies. The same is true for the history preference. I usually delete all cookies and history regularly, with the exception of a few essential cookies for select sites requiring passwords. Now every time I quit Safari, all of my cookies are deleted. I have tried to reset the security preferences more than once. Am I missing something, or is there a known issue about this?
Thanks in advance...
Steve

HI Steve,
In Safari System Preferences - Security, you can Always accept cookies, never, or only from sites you visit but not manually.
Can you clarify please?
Do you have a third party Safari plugin by chance that is deleting cookies automatically?

  • Bookmarks and Cookies Management got WORSE!

    In earlier FF versions, I was able to delete individual cookies easily from the list, why have they changed it so that now we can only delete ALL of them?
    The Bookmarking Window was resizeable in earlier versions, now we have this tiny box, not resizeable, gives bad oversight, and sometimes bookmarks into wrong categories (when you "doubleclick" by mistake.
    This really sucks, please bring back the old system!!!

    The bookmarks window for saving a new bookmark hasn't changed since Firefox 3 came out, like 2 years ago. Try the Add Bookmark Here ² extension - the "Page Bookmarked" window can be dragged to as large as you want it to be with the + (plus symbol) in the lower-left corner of that window:

    A support thread for that extension is here:
    http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=522643
    As far as cookies management goes, the Options panel for Privacy was changed for Firefox 3.5 (a year ago), but the Show Cookies dialog box is the same as it was in Firefox 2 ''(and maybe even Firefox 1., but the oldest version I now have installed is 2.0.0.20 - so I can't say for certain)''.
    If you are not happy with the interface for removing specific cookies, look at the various cookie related extensions for one that is easier for you to use.

  • Safari privacy and cookie management is not available

    When checking safari preferences to check the settings the privacy settings where blank immediately after upgrading to Lion then checking later the cookies appeared in list form but subsequently disappeared and has not reappeared. Is there something I am missing.  PowerBook pro 233 2007. Model

    From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab.
    Click: Show Cookies.
    Type Comcast in the search field then click Remove All then click Done.
    Restart your iMac, launch Safari. Try mail.
    Also, empty the Safari cache more often. From the menu bar, Safari / Empty Cache.

  • I have Lion and Safari 5.7.1 and my privacy tab in preferences has no options. I'd like to manage cookies.  What am I doing wrong?

    Uninstall SIMBL as follows.
    Select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar, then enter the following text in the box that opens:
    /Library
    A folder will open. From that folder, delete the items listed below (some may be absent.) You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Application Support/SIMBL
    InputManagers/SIMBL.bundle
    LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist
    ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax
    Log out and log back in.
    Make sure you never reinstall SIMBL. It’s likely to come bundled with another third-party system modfication that depends on it. If you want trouble-free computing, avoid software that makes miraculous changes to other software, especially built-in applications. The only real exception to that rule is Safari extensions, which are mostly safe, and are easy to get rid of when they don’t work. SIMBL and its dependents are not Safari extensions.

  • Safari 5.1, OS 10.6.8 and cookie controls

    Ok, I know there are numerous threads here in the Mac Safari forum regarding the issue of Safari 5.1 and cookie control. I just thought I would start my own thread instead of continuing on something else.
    I am using Safari 5.1 and 10.6.8. I waited for a bit to update to 5.1 (did it this week), giving it since its debut on July 20th. I too am experiencing the lack of cookie controls. The three settings that exists do not seem to do what they say except that they always allow cookies.  To update from Safari 505, I downloaded the installer from Apple downloads instead of using SU function. 
    Has anyone read something that Apple knows of this issue? 
    Since installing Safari 5.1, I have done the last security update as well.
    I remember reading that reinstalling the 1.1 version of the 10.6.8 combo would replace Safari 5.1 with 505. But, has anyone tried that? Will Safari 5.1 show up in software update as well as the last security update? I am wondering if I reapply that combo if it will undo the last security fix as well (since I am assuming software update will still see the receipt for the previous ones and not call for them to be redone).
    If all cookies are coming through, isn't this a serious bug?  I have been resetting safari often to wipe them out, but they reoccur switftly.  I have to MBP's and am seeing the same behaviour on both.

    I'd use that terminal command - takes seconds (and a restart) + no download. But otherwise yes - the 10.6.8 v1.1 then the update & anything else software update picks up (not safari, obviously )
    Some people happily get a copy of just the safari 5.0.5 application & use that, since apparently it works, although I'm not sure what cookie function you'll get (easy enough to see). You'd use Pacifist to extract it from the 5.0.5 installer package, or grab it from a backup.
    Although you'd hope software update would catch the security change - I'm not sure if the combo would overwrite the new or not... on the one hand, it's newer, but on the other, it sure over-wrote safari 5.1 when i checked it... so better to be sure, I haven't checked since that update.
    If you look at the files in /System/Library/Keychains/ afterwards - if EVRoots.plist, SystemRootCertificates.keychain, and SystemTrustSettings.plist are all dated 23 April 2011, the combo rolled them back - if they're later... it didn't.
    Apple do know, since bug reports come back as 'duplicate of...' - but  there's no public info to my knowledge.
    How much of a security issue is this? Should I worry about it, or just leave it until they update to fix?
    more privacy than real security, I'd say - although there are add-ons to manage cookies.

  • My first generation iPad suddenly stopped opening Safari.  I cleared history, cookies, and cache, and Safari still won't open.  Any suggestions?

    When I attempt to open a Safari window on my first-generation iPad, it opens to a blank screen.  I can see the web address bar and the search box, but the rest of the page is white.  I cleared cookies, history, and cache, but still nothing happens.  The iPad is 3G, and I have tried to open Safari using both 3G and my home WiFi.  My wife has an iPad 3 WiFi, and hers opens without issue.  Any suggestions on what I might do?  Thanks!

    1. Double-click the Home button to close all Inactive Apps in Task Bar
    2. Hold the Apps in Task Bar down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close Apps
    4. Tap center of screen to return to Home Screen
    5. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

  • In IOS 7 some web pop ups freeze, I can only resume safari if I delete data and cookies from the safari settings

    I recently installed IOS 7 and I getting used to the new feel.  However, I have encounted a problem at least three times now.  If I am shopping and a web message pops up, such as "you must select size before quantity" or "you have exceeded the number of items" there is a box that displays "ok" for you to acknowledge the mistake and continue.  In IOS 7, the pop ups freeze, I am not able to click "ok" and make the dialog box go away.  My only solution so far is to go to settings -- safari-- clear data and cookies.  Any help or insight would be appreciated!

    My iPad also experiences this.

  • Safari clearing history, website data, and cookies

    I guess I'm trying to find out how to tell the developers of Yosemite to go backwards and allow us to clear history without losing all the website data and cookies. In Maverick, at the end of the day, I cleared my history, and it only cleared my browsing history; I didn't have to sign in again on all the sites I visit. Yosemite is working fine for me except for this one issue. I believe we users should have the option of clearing just the browsing history, and letting us choose to clear website data and cookies. Any ideas on this?

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
    Feedback
    Safari/Preferences/General has a 1 day option that doesn't delete cookies.

  • The LOVOO app has hijacked the app store on my ipad. Plus, it often redirects me to the hijacked app store when I'm in safari (from any number of anodyne sites). I've cleared history and cookies, and will now reboot the whole ipad. What permanent fix?

    I have exactly the same problem with my iPod touch 5. The Lovoo application hijacks me to the App Store constantly. It is a nightmare. This is disgusting.

  • Cookie manager recommendation for Lion/Safari

    I was wondering if anyone has input on this?  Most of the threads I found in searching the forum were very old.
    While the generic "block cookies from 3rd parties and advertisers" Privacy Preference is ok - one still ends up with hundreds of garbage cookies (over the course of time) that have figured out how to get around the block.
    Ideally, I'd like something like a Whitelist - where I can approve/deny each one as it attempts to get through, and then maintain those on a long term basis.  All denied would be blacklisted forever - so cookies would be kept to a bare minimum 24/7.
    Alternatively, a cookie regurgitator would be nice.  Something simple that would purge all cookies every set amount of time.  If it had a Whitelist feature - all the better!
    NOW - for the HARD PART - it would hopefully be a Safari Extension (Apple approved) - and not install SIMBL or anything else evil on the Mac.  (I base this note on SIMBL from recent troubleshooting with Safari getting corrupted, and sage advice from one of the more prolific/well respected ASC Forum members.)

    Thanks Klaus!  From SafariCookies own site - "Safari Cookies requires SIMBL" 
    It would have hewlped if you had stated what OS you are using.
    Either you missed "Lion" in the title of the post - or you're just kidding?  But just in case I'm not understanding - it's Safari 5.2.1 and OSX 10.7.2 - AFAIK the most current of everything.
