Safari is 'Always' cookie permissions on an iPhone 4 safe?

Hello members, Hotmail is reporting 'Sign out' failed, it asked to 'allow cookies' in my browser for removal, I checked it was set to 'Always visited sites only', but this was not acceptable for Hotmail, so I had to change this to 'Always'.
Is it safe to leave Safari in this way?, this was the first time today Hotmail came back at me with this web page error.
Any advice would be grateful
Kind regards
Livio

Hello,
It's ok to allow cookies "Always" but "visited sites only" is better since it blocks advertisers and third parties.
You might like Safari Cookie Manager
You can delete the Hotmail cookies manually. From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies Select the cookies you want to remove.
Please take a moment and click My Settings on the right side of this page. Tell us which Mac model you have and which Mac OS X. That will help in the future..... Thanks!
You can remove cookies on your iPhone also. Tap Settings / Safari / Clear Cookies

Why does Safari still accept cookies, even when I put Block Cookies "Always"

Why does Safari still accept cookies, even when I put Block Cookies "Always",? There are always a list of every website with cookies. Is that just a record of what could've been accepted or its a bogus feature that still accepts regardless of what feature is on?

Apple has rolled over users since OS X 10.6.8 when this issue first appeared.
If you want a browser that actually CARES about it's users, then install Firefox, it's the only one that does.

Safari not accepting cookies from Blaze + Spring

Hi,
I have a facebook game with BlazeDS, Spring and Hibernate and in Firefox, Chrome and IE is working perfect.
But in Safari doesn't work.
If I put the Cookie Settings of Safari to Always accept cookies it works.
But if my configuration is in "Only sites I visit" it doesn't work.
The weird thing here is that I visit the page from the game, so clearly it should be accepted.
The Arquitecture of the Game is an Apache with the SWF and then another Server that is running Java with Blaze.
Does anyone have any clue about this?

I followed this thread and I made it work.

Safari third party cookies

As one of the few user who still uses hotmail, I've got a problem with Safari logging me out on live.com.
I have chosen to accept only cookies from site I navigate to, thus blocking cookies from third party websites.
Now, for logging out on live.com, it seems to be necessary to ALWAYS accept cookies, including third party cookies.
Hotmail uses cookies from passport.com, not live.com, for tracking whether you have already logged out or not.
This is quite annoying, for I can't properly log out without temporarily changing my cookies settings.
Is there any way (preferences, terminal, application, ...) to custom accept cookies?
So I can still block third party cookies, but always allow cookies from passport.com?
I know this is a standard functionality of Firefox and even IE, why is it missing in Safari?
I'm using Safari 5.1 on osX 10.7.1
Thanks in advance,
Gert Milis

Downloaded and installed it, but it doesn't seem to have any affect on the "third party cookies" problem. I go to the "bill pay" section of the credit union website and it just shows a blank page.
So do I have to set Safari to "ALWAYS" accept third party cookies no matter what, and then use this other program to delete the hundreds that will be accepted that I don't want? That seems very cumbersome. As a long-time Mac user, I am sort of shocked at how little thought seems to have gone into cookie-handling. I would also figure someone might have written an "extension" to give more user control over how cookies are dealt with.
Safari has frustrated me greatly so far. There have been other issues as well, such as some "embedded" videos on some webpages just don't even show up,..there is nothing clickable to "make it load" or anything...just a blank spot on the page. Other webpages formats are completely screwed up by Safari...it puts text and headers in wrong places, and won't display some pages at all.

Safari Not Blocking Cookies

Hey, so I found this issue a few days ago where I noticed that Safari is not blocking cookies. General > Safari > Block Cookies > Always. And despite having it on "Always", cookies still manage to pass through as if I hadn't changed the option. I got this issue on iOS 7 and the 7.0.2 update didn't fix it. Anyone else have this issue too or a fix?

I am having the same issue when developing a website, for some reason when set to block always, cookies are still set.

My safari is always shutting off and then a box asking me to fill out a report pops up it happens at least once a day, is there anything i could do to stop this?

I think you mean it's crashing or quitting unexpectedly.
Most likely due to third party Safari add ons. Follow the instructions for troubleshooting here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
If you can't resolve the issue, post a crash report so we can try and help you get Safari going again.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

No issues, but curious..why do I always get permissions repaired when I click on 'repair permissions in Disk Utility......it usually has to do with core permissions and it's happened since i got this MacBook Pro in 3/11..it continues with 10.7

Safari, maps, utube and app store will not open on my ipad1? If I go to Settings and Safari and Clear Cookies, then Settings will close abruptly. How to fix?

Hi,
Neither Safari, utube, maps, itunes or app store will open on my ipad1. I tried to go to Settings, Safari and Clear Cookies - but when I do that Settings will abruptly close. How to fix. I tried restore - di not work.
Thankyou,
Jeff

Try downloading any free app and see if that helps to reset the iPad and return your apps to normal. If that doesn't work ...
Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. If that doesn't help try this ...
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

When I open Safari, I always type command-plus to enlarge the view. However, I can't figure out how to permanently set the Safari screen to this view setting in the preferences. Any ideas?

Sorry, but you must Command + for every page. It's not permanent.
If you haven't tried yet, check out Zoom in Safari > Preferences > Accessibility

If i made an appt. with Apple, and i asked them if i could switch my black Iphone 5 to a white Iphone 5, because i always have trouble with black Iphones, would they let me?

if i made an appt. with Apple, and i asked them if i could switch my black Iphone 5 to a white Iphone 5, because i always have trouble with black Iphones, would they let me?

i've had black iphones in the past, and the same thing always gets messed up, the network, i will not have service what-so ever, and when my mother's iphone will be right next to me and she will have full service. Also the lock screen button/power button broke on both of my black iphones as well. i was just wondering if they would consider. Does apple have an email i could contact?

Can I configure Safari to always open pages in a new tab?

Can I configure Safari to always open web pages in a new tab?

I guess what I'm looking for is a new tab for each web page.
AFAIK, Safari doesn't support automatically opening a new tab for each page.
Check the Safari Extensions Gallery... From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Safari Extensions...
Glims might have a feature you can use > http://www.machangout.com
It's free and compatible with Safari 6 and Mountain Lion.

Is it necessary to have safari sync "on" to iCloud on my iPhone 4?

Is it necessary to have safari sync "on" to iCloud on my iPhone 4?

Thanks for the reply. The only thing I use Safari for is to browse the Internet. I have one icon on my home screen that is
Web based and used for work purpose. I am using to much memory in iCloud and trying to figure out what I can turn of to reduce memory use. If I turn off Safari ICloud sync, will this affect that home screen icon I use daily and often?
