Safari 8.0.4 Cookies issue

Hi, I am on a MBA 2013, running Yosemite 10.10.2. I just upgrade my Safari to version 8.0.4. I seem to have issues which are related to cookies.
When searching with Google, my geographic location gives me a language I do not understand. When trying to change Google search default language, I receive a message my cookies are "disabled".
I have checked my settings and I am set to "allow all cookies".
Anyone experiencing similar issue? Any solutions?
Thanks

Go step by step and test.
1. Empty Caches
    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
2. Delete Cookies
    Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:
    Click the “Details” button.
    Remove all cookies except from Apple, your internet service provider and banks.
3. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Turn off Extensions if any and launch Safari again to test.
    Turn on those one by one and test.
4. Temporarily turn off Safari iCloud sync and test.
     System Preferences > iCloud
     Uncheck the box beside “Safari” and test.

Cookies set to "Never" but Safari now accepts all cookies anyway

In looking closely at cookies accepted "only from sites I visit" I noticed that it actually includes a lot of third-party cookies, so I keep Preferences set to Never unless I'm accessing a site that must accept them (for example, New York Times). However, in the last few days something has changed (I don't know what that is), and now all cookies are accepted even though I have Preferences set to Never. Seems like this change coincides with the latest Safari update from a couple of days back. Is there anything I can do to stop it accepting any and every cookie? Thanks.

Silkroad,
I just installed 10.6.8 and have the same issue. It appears 10.6.8 broke Safari. I hate cookies, and always have Safari set to "never". If ad companies want to pay me to track my web use, that's one thing, but I'm certainly not going to let them do it for free! I'm quite frustrated this slipped through Apple's QA, and hopefully they will fix this soon. In the meantime, FireFox works fine. I normally use Safari for general browsing, and FireFox for the occaisonal site I need cookies for (and I have FireFox set to clear all information upon closing). If you do banking online, you certainly don't want cookies laying around on your machine. Unrelated, it's important to delete Flash cookies, which most people don't do. These are buried in user/library/preferences/macromedia
You need to lock the "#SharedObjects" folder (press command+I on the folder and click "lock"). Then also click throguh the "macromedia.com" folder to "sys" and lock that folder. A few sites will require you to unlock the "#SharedObjects" folder to play their flash video, but most don't require this. I dropped the Flash folder in my "places" section so I can quickly access it when needed. Flash is evil stuff, no getting around it.
It would be nice if our web browsers could block Flash cookies as well. At any rate, Apple should fix this Safari cookie issue ASAP!

Safari 4.1.3 cookies not staying set when safari is quit

Hi,
This post is a solution I couldn't find out there.
Problem: out of the blue, when i opened Safari 4.1.3 on Mac OS Tiger, I get the login EVERY time for email, forums, etc. even though I used to be able to check the "remember my account" button and not have log in every-time I started Safari. I have cookies set to "always accept" and "private browsing" turned off. But its like the cookies aren't being saved anymore for my safari session, and upon restarting Safari the next day, i was having to login to the websites every session.
Solution:
Look for your cookies.plist file. Mine lost the ability for my account to read/write to it. So I had to delete /Users/<myaccount>/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist (when Safari was not running). Restart Safari, it will recreate this file as a blank file. Permissions should now allow you to read/write the file.
This fixed my issue of having to login EVERY time I started Safari.
Hope this is helpful to someone our there!

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Make sure: *User names and passwords* is selected.
Your passwords are stored in Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities). If you have problems logging in to a site, quit Safari. Launch Keychain Access. Select Passwords on the left. Delete the keychain for that site.
Relaunch Safari. Login to a site with your login data. When you see the dialog asking if you want to save that info to a keychain, click Yes.
If you still have problems, open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.keychainaccess.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
See if that helps..

MapViewer integrated in Apex - Securing MapViewer Cookie Issue

Hello,
I'm trying to secure my Mapviewer accesses. My MapViewer is contained in an apex page. As said in documentation (1.8.2) I have to used cookie to pass username(or what I want to authenticate the user) to the database. For doing this I have to put a package in my map schema and to configure datasource to use it.
Package code(nothing special) :
create or replace
PACKAGE BODY web_user_info AS
w_name VARCHAR2 (32767);
PROCEDURE set_user(p_name IN VARCHAR2)
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO TABLE1 VALUES('set machin');
COMMIT;
INSERT INTO TABLE1 VALUES('set_user:'||p_name);
COMMIT;
w_name := LOWER (p_name);
END;
PROCEDURE clear_user
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO TABLE1 VALUES('clear machin');
COMMIT;
INSERT INTO TABLE1 VALUES('clear_user:'||w_name);
COMMIT;
w_name := null;
END;
FUNCTION get_user RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
BEGIN
RETURN w_name;
END;
END web_user_info;
Datasource definition :
<map_data_source name="cuc"
jdbc_host="localhost"
jdbc_sid="xxxxx"
jdbc_port="1521"
jdbc_user="xxx"
jdbc_password="xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
jdbc_mode="thin"
number_of_mappers="3"
allow_jdbc_theme_based_foi="true"
plsql_package="web_user_info"
/>
It works like that except that it return J2EE authentication(oc4jadmin). set_user and clear_user are well executed.
Cookie Issue :
To make this work with cookie information I have to add a attribute to the datasource definition :
web_user_type="LOGIN_USERNAME_COOKIE"
This cookie is present in my apex page, details :
Name     LOGIN_USERNAME_COOKIE
Value     the_name
Domaine (host)     localhost
Chemin d'accès (path)     /apex/
Sécurisé     non
Expire le     À la fin de la session
It doesn't work with my cookie, the clear_user is well executed but set_user is no more executed.
Did someone already get through the cookie authentication feature ?

yes i checked this site, but i still couldn't reach the answer of my challenge, in how to specify urlParamNQID and urlParamSID , how or where i can get value of these parameters or what should i pass there !?

Webdynpro ABAP webservice call to external server - Cookie issue

Hi,
We are experiencing cookie issue while calling webservice to Tivoli system hosted on IBM websphere.
Steps we have done as follows:
1. Created a ABAP Proxy class from Tivoli WSDL.
2. Configured T-Code LPCONFIG to point to above proxy class and logical port.
3. Configured SM59 RFC connection to point to Tivoli server using basic authentication mechanism (User ID/Password).
4. Called webservice method from WebDynpro ABAP program.
After above steps, we are able to call the webservice method successfully but second time we are experiencing Cookie being adding to the request and eventually no response back to our program.
When we investigated this cookie issue with IBM Websphere people, they says thay have enabled SSO Config instead of basic authentication and that's why a cookie is being added to the request and fails. when they disabled SSO, we are able to call webservic method sucessfully sevaral times. but now this cannot be no longer disabled as other applications are using SSO enable option. So, we are thinking, is there something that can be done in SAP ECC itself as we see the option of using SSO in SM59 instead of User Id/Password but not sure How?
If anybody has undergone this scenario/SSO config from ECC SM59 successfully, Please reply back.
Thanks in advance
Praveen

Here is the link that explains how SSO can be configured in SAP.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/65/6a563cef658a06e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
Once done, under Client PSE in Tcode STRUST, you can upload the certificate obtained from the SSO enabled system and use the client PSE (Default) in the SSL Client Certificate area of SM59
I see Thomas has already responded to you and he has written a blog on how to set this up as well.

After installing IOS6: after erasing the history of Safari, the next time I fire up Safari, I see a split-second of the last displayed screen of Safari. Not a big issue but it should not be that way.

Safari will NOT block cookies, ever

Safari will NOT block cookies, ever. No matter what they always show up (even from advertisers on a particular site) - I have reset safari, deleted its preference file, re-installed the OS, tried a different user, tried as root user - all with same same result. I tried to re-install Safari but was told by the OS that I need to have at least 10.6.7 installed and I am currently running 10.6.8!
I have an 27" iMac running 10.6.8 with all updates, Safari 5.05. I am also running VirusBarrier X6 10.6.12. VirusBarrier has a cookie feature as well but it doesn't block cookies. I have completely disabled VirusBarrier and still get the same results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This is true. The "block cookies always" setting in the Privacy tab is not 100% effective (evidently Apple programmers have their own definition of "always").
There will not be a solution from Apple. They don't care. Users that want to block cookies are almost surely poor consumers and probably troublemakers too.
dfp mbp's fix will work but what a pain.
It used to be one was willing to pay the Apple "tax" for a superior product, but that was then ...

Cookie Issues in uzbl- uzbl-cookie-daemon

I have two gmail accounts, one of which I rarely use. On the gmail login page, the less used account name seems to be permanently set in the Username field. Clicking the "sign in as a different user" link below that doesn't work, it brings me back to the login page with my alternate username filled in and unchangeable. I think this may be a cookies issue, and I don't see any cookies saved by uzbl anywhere, but I'd like to know how to restart the cookies daemons or clear the cookies. Again, I'm not sure what the issue is, so any suggestions are welcome.

So I'm still having this problem. uzbl-cookie-daemon seems to be malfunctioning somehow, but I've yet to find a way to view its output to see if I can spot the problem. Whenever I try to visit certain sites, the process "python /usr/bin/uzbl-cookie-daemon -v start" takes up a large part of my cpu and uzbl locks up. I've been unable to get more info than that, aside from the fact that killing the daemon allows me to access the sites in question.

Despite ticking the box "remove all website data", when I reset Safari not all stored cookies are eliminated. How can I overcome the problem? Or is it a bug?

Despite ticking the box "remove all website data", when I reset Safari not all stored cookies are eliminated. How can I overcome the problem? Or is it a bug?

I have done a little experimenting: 1-close all open windows (I found that I had to do this step in order to keep Safari from hanging-will be explained later). 2: Remove all data in Prefs. 3: Immediately close the prefs window (no window should be open at this point) and quit Safari. Try to complete step 3 fast as possible; I have it down to a few seconds. The reason I urge you to close all windows is that Safari hangs until forced to quit upon immediately quitting after removing cookies. I think the auto page reload in Lion is the cause of these hiccups but I can't be sure about that. The hasty quit I found is crucial to success. Don't know why that is but it could prevent the data from re-populating. A quick flush, if you will. Hit me back if you need any of my suggestions clarified; a bit wordy, I know

Safari Private Browsing keeps cookies

I thought that Safari was supposed to purge the cookies added during private browsing as well...seems as if it did that before, but doesn't now.

HI Jim,
This from the Safari Help Menu:
About cookies
A cookie is a small file created by a website to store information. The cookie is stored on your computer. Cookies are normally helpful and harmless; it’s rare to encounter a bad cookie.
When you visit a website that uses cookies, the site asks Safari to put cookies on your computer. When you return to the site later, Safari sends back the cookies that belong to the site. The cookies tell the site who you are so that the site can show you information that’s appropriate for you.
Cookies can store information that identifies you, such as your name and email address. A website has access only to the information you provide. For example, a website can’t determine your email address unless you provide it. A website can’t gain access to other information on your computer.
When you use the default cookie preferences in Safari, you won’t know when Safari is accepting or sending cookies.
You can change your cookies preferences so that Safari doesn’t accept cookies or accepts them only from limited sources.

Safari does not safe COOKIES!!! FIX IT, IM TIRED OF TYPING MY 16 numbers banking card.

Safari does not remember cookies, any suggestions?

Like Philly said, cookies has NOTHING to do with this. Even my computer doesn't remember my bank card. I would never want anything to remember my credit card numbers. Way too dangerous.

Even after setting system preferences to Never accept cookies and having deleted all cookies, Safari continues to add cookies. I've tried to reset safari but the problem persists. How can make safari Never accept cookies.

I'm having a problem with cookies on Safari.
Even after setting system preferences to Never accept cookies and having deleted all cookies, Safari continues to add cookies. I've tried to Reseting Safari several time but the problem persists. This is occurring under two different user logins one of whom is an administrator the other a standard user. How can I get safari to Never accept cookies? This is a recent problem because in the past it used to work properly. Any idea what might be going on here?

Hi David:
I did read (yesterday in another thread) about a similar problem. I cannot test it myself as I accept cookies (from sites I visit) and do not want to delete all of mine for a test.
I do not know whether it meets your requirements, but you could turn on private browsing. I use that (or Microsoft's variant on IE) when I use public computers.

Safari don't block cookies / security issue?

Hi,
after updating to Lion I noticed a security issue on Safari: 'Block cookies = Always' don't prevent storing of cookies.
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks.

This security hole seems to be a problem for many users:
- Never accept cookies button does not work I am still receiving all cookies
- I have safari 5.05 i always use safari with the cookies set to never except. i see that safari 5.05 keep excepting cookies when i have cookies set to never except. any one has same problem? is it normal for safari to do that? i don't think so.
- Clicking to never accept cookies does not work.
Please, try to fix it.

Safari 6 Cookie Issues

Hi, I am having a weird issue with Safari 6 on Mountain Lion.
I set Safari to Block Cookies "From third parties and advertisers", but every so often when I return to the tab under Safari's preferences the option has swich to block cookies "never."
The other day I actually clicked the "privacy" pane and the moment the dialog appeared the option swiched from Block third parties to never. I have changed it back several times, but it doesn't stay. This is weird and frightning. I have run 5 Security scans: ClamXav, Bitdefender, iAntivirus, Avast, and Virus Barrier and none of them have detected anything.
What do you think is causing this?

I can reproduce this issue. I captured movie that my reproducing the problem. You can see it from the following:

My environment is:
MacBook Air 13-inch, Late 2010
Processor: 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Cookie Issues...I think

Ok, I frequent a certain forum and am having some issues that I think are cookie related. When I attempt to log in to the forum, I get an message confirming that I'm logged in and then it redirects me to the original page and I'm not logged in. I thought it was the forum issue and contacted the admins and they said the prob should be fixed, nothing, same problem. I asked other Mac, Safari users on there if they had any issues and no one had any issues. The only way I've figured out how to get logged on is to reset Safari, empty cache and clear cookies. This works but is aggravating b/c it clears other info on other sites that I have to re-enter to log on to other sites.
Any ideas on what could be my prob?

I've had the same problem with a couple of forums that I have tried to subscribe to. In one case, setting the browser to allow pop-ups worked. Apparently their log-in process makes use of a pop-up window that Safari had been blocking.
