Safari deleting cookies

Hello - I am experiencing an issue with Safari deleting cookies for certain websites; it's random - not all http nor https. For instance, I use outlook web access for corporate email. Initially Safari kept my username/password for outlook access but now each time I shutdown/re-launch Safari, I have to re-enter my credentials. Has anyone else been experiencing similar issues? Is there a fix for this?
I'm using Safari Version 3.0.4 (5523.10.6).
Thanks,
Paul K.

Since mine also crashes a lot, I can confirm that all cookies are gone when I send a crash report to Apple
Hi
Apple doesn't respond to Crash Reports. Until the Crash Report Bug is repaired (perhaps in 10.5.2) if you need to see it, go to your Finder: Your User Account>Library>Logs>Crash Reporter. Inside that folder you'll find the Crash Reports (accumulated in one file with the latest report at the end).
If you want to resolve the crashes, start a new topic here. Copy/paste the most recent crash report (per above) to your post. In your post describe your browser activity when the crash occurs.

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 do I delete cookies using Safari 5.1.5/Lion

How do I delete cookies on my IMAC, using Safari 5.1.5/ Lion?

Safari won't delete cookies.

I know this has been asked before but it doesn't seem to me that it's ever been resolved.
Safari is version 6.0.5 on Lion 10.7.5. If I try to delete cookies, within a few minutes a lot, but not all of them re-appear. I want to get rid of them because I've noticed that if I visit some sites, then others, all of a sudden ads, sometimes slooooow running ads with video.
Side note to any advertisers: Being obnoxious and stalking people isn't exactly endearing me to your products.
I don't seem to see the same problems with FireFox, SeaMonkey, or Chrome, although I rarely use Chrome well enough to be sure. I also have an old laptop PPC running Leopard, and I've noticed that when I kill the cookies on it they're gone.
Is there a resolution to this?
Thanks.

When it comes to cookie management on Safari ... much better off using another browser.
It's been discussed here extensively.
Older versions of OS X such as Leopard. Cookies are not handled the same as in recent Safari versions.

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.

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.

How can I delete history without deleting cookies on safari yosemite?

how can I delete history without deleting cookies on safari yosemite?

actually, if I click on history and go to bottom and delete history, with Yosemite, it will delete cookies and all... I get message: if you delete history, you will delete cookies and other information from web sites.
to avoid that the procedure is this: History > Show History>Select All>Delete.
thanks for trying to help.
good day.

I cannot delete cookies after updating to 9.0.1, also when opened, I have 2 new cookie files that disappear when FF is closed.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled 9.0.1, the same thing happens. Checked my Profile, cookies.sqlite is there when FF is closed or uninstalled. When installed and opened, I have 2 new files, cookies.sqlite-wal and cookies.sqlite-shm, along with cookies.sqlite. Is this the reason I can't delete cookies? Also I have, and have had enabled AdBlock Plus and Privacy Browsing. After updating, I can't post anything to FF Support (this is my 4th attempt, finally used Safari to post) and files under Tools, such as Clear History are accessible, I shouldn't have a History to delete.
(1st edit)
OK. I reinstalled FF 9.0.1 from Safari, but not directly from Mozilla. I used CNet, now things are working like they should. I have no cookies listed, except the ones I want. Private Browsing is working properly. However, I still have those 2 extra cookie files; -wal and -shm.
(2nd edit)
I spoke too soon. After accessing sites that I frequent, the 'ad' cookies are back (adbright, realmedia, 247realmedia) and the site cookies are eliminated, not there, gone. Now I can't login to anything and am back to Safari to access FF Support Forum. Do I have a bug? Someone please help, I'm desperate, I hate IE, Safari, Chrome, etc. They have neither the level of ad and pop-up elimination that Firefox has; nor, do they have the level of customization that Firefox has. The 2 extra cookie files, -wal and -shm, are still there when FF is open, and gone again when FF is closed. One more thing I noticed, I have a Chrome Support Application file in my Library. Could the Chrome cookie file interfere with FF cookies? I wouldn't think so, I have Safari, as well, and neither browser has ever interfaced with the other before.
(3rd edit)
I have uninstalled/reinstalled FF, all of my add-ons and also tried deleting the cookies.sqlite document from the FF Profile file, to no avail. I have counted, there are 14 sites listed in the Preferences>Privacy>Show Cookies pane (no pun intended) and they are all "ad" sites. These sites are also listed as blocked sites in Adblock Plus. Until someone answers, I give up, I don't know what else to do. There was only the one time that the cookies were gone from the Show Cookies pane, every other time I uninstalled/reinstalled anything, they were still there. So, until someone helps me, I'm stuck. The only thing I have not done is deleted the Profile file altogether. That is the last thing I want to do, unless I can save my bookmarks somewhere to move back after reinstallation. If this isn't rectified within a few days, I may just try that, too.

Do you have an extension like TACO (Abine) or TrackerBlock that maintains a set of OPT-OUT cookies?
* Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out (TACO): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/targeted-advertising-cookie-op/
* TrackerBlock: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/trackerblock/
* Beef Taco (Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/beef-taco-targeted-advertising/
If you do then you need to disable or uninstall such an extension.
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 other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Deleting Cookies... Security OPane on Preferences no longer working "properly"

My Preferences panel seems to have reset itself, with the Security pane no longer listing several options (Location services, Accept Cookies, Databases, Non-secure forms). As a result, I don't have an option to "show" and then "delete" cookies or database info.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Spoke to Apple, this is how the new version of Safari is set up. You can e-mail the webmaster of the site you are attemting to access with the complete build code oy your version of Safari ti verify compatability. Also, if you have your OS disc you can do an "optional install" and restore Safari to the older version.

Are iPad Safari's Cookies And Website Data The Same Thing?

Are they the same, and do they collect indefinitely until you manually clear them?

Sheden-
It is not clear if they are the same thing, but I do not believe so. There are two places to manually delete Data:
1. Settings - Safari - Clear Cookies and Data
2. Settings - Safari - Advanced - Website Data - Remove All Website Data
I tried clearing Cookies and Data, and the data previously listed under "Website Data" went away. When I tried just "Remove All Website Data", it went away again. I can not tell if Cookies also went away since I do not know how to examine them.
After clearing the website data, images on a facebook page had to reload when I revisited it. Normally they come up immediately. I know the images are definitely not "Cookies"!
As far as I kinow, website data collects indefinitely. I suggest you search the web for information about Cookies, to see if they have a limited lifetime.

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
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Web_bug
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.
