Safari Private Browsing Logs Me Off Sites
If I am logged into sites like gmail, facebook, bankofamerica, etc, and then turn on private browsing in Safari, I am logged off those sites and cannot log back in until I turn off private browsing. Is this supposed to happen? I would think that one of the main reasons to use private browsing is to cover your tracks when using these types of sites especially. Thanks,
With iOS 7 on the iPad, you turn Private Browsing on and off by tapping the URL field. The screen that opens up has your bookmarks on it. In the bottom left corner is a hot button marked 'PRIVATE'. Tap on the word 'PRIVATE' to turn private browsing on or off. Yeah, there aren't any instructions anywhere that I can find to do this, and if you follow Yahoo's instructions, they don't work. This doesn't happen with the previous Apple OS, and you can restore your iPad to the older OS.

Forsome reason, after two years, my E Pad is refusing to go to my att.Yahoo e mail...It says to go to Settings Safari Private Browsing and turn off Private Browsing. There is not place on the Safrari page that gives me Private Browsing. It explains it as being dark when turned on, but no place to turn it on or off. Also it seems to go to Yahoo Mail instead of Att..Yahoo when it gives me the above message....Any One know what todo?
As of iOS 7, private browsing is not longer handled in the Settings app, but in Safari directly. The only Settings function for Safari that may impact this would be Block cookies.
Private browsing is turned on and off in Safari using the button in teh lower left of the Safari screen (if you do not see this, tap the + icon in the upper right to pull up an empty tab). -

Safari private browsing is not private-pls advice
A good and bad thing about MBP is its transparency in documenting things done (things done today, past week etc). Everything is documented and available. It is disturbing of course if one is equipped with secrecy-genes.
In Safari private browsing is not quite private. As Christian Buerli wrote in MacFormat, uk on page 77 in summer 2008 "even with private browsing on, the domain names of visited, Flash enabled sites will be recorded to /Library/Prefs/Macromedia/FlashPlayer/#SharedObjects/.
My question is if I can dump all these shared objects (must be many hundreds of them) with no harm done to anything else.
pls advice,
pyrySafari can keep your browsing history private. When you turn on private browsing, Safari doesn’t remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information, so your partner cannot see where you have been, but you must also remember to also turn off acceptance of cookies.
In all other respects Private Browsing is not as private as you might think:
http://www.switchingtomac.com/tutorials/how-to-make-safaris-private-browsing-fea ture-actually-private/
http://www.insanely-great.com/news.php?id=9054
and then Apple's own advice from here: http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/privacy_safari.html
"Note that the Private Browsing option does not prevent Safari from collecting cookies (the preference files automatically generated by many websites). The Reset Safari option clears all cookies. If you want to delete only certain ones, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, click the Security tab, and then click Show Cookies. You can select and delete individual cookies from the list that appears. Careful, though — if you’re a frequent web user, this list can be very, very long."
which is itself incomplete, the relevant part being 'If you want to delete only certain ones.
To that end it is useful to have Safari Cookies installed, which is the only cookie manager available for Safari:
http://sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/
which automatically deletes all cookies not marked as 'favourites' when closing Safari. It does the same for Flash Cookies, but they are subject for themselves:
From this website: http://machacks.tv/2009/01/27/flushapp-flash-cookie-removal-tool-for-os-x/ For those who do not know about Flash cookies, more properly referred to as Local Shared Objects (LSO), they operate in a similar way to regular browser cookies but are stored outside the purview of your browser, meaning you cannot delete them from within your browser, whether Safari, Firefox, Opera or any other. Typically they are issued from sites or 3rd party sites that contain Adobe Flash content. Since virtually all internet advertising is delivered in Flash, Google/Doudleclick and all other internet advertising companies are sure to be tracking your browsing behavior with Flash cookies. These companies can see you traverse the Internet as you come upon the plethora of sites that contain their embedded advertising. Check out the Wikipedia entry here. In Mac OS X they are stored in the following location:
/User’s Home Folder/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects
The settings for the Flash cookies are stored in: /User’s Home Folder/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys In OS X Local Shared Objects, or Flash Cookies, are appended with a .sol suffix. Flush deletes all the Flash cookies (.sol) and their settings. Flush can be downloaded from that page. If you want to retain certain Flash cookies but not others, the excellent add-on for Safari called SafariCookies now includes a setting for automatically deleting flash cookies you don't want to retain, when Safari is shut down, in the same as it deals with ordinary cookies:
http://www.sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/index.htm which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff! This article covers the issue in more depth:
http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/08/you-deleted-your-cookies-think-again/ Flash cookies are also known as 'Zombie Cookies' and are used by a number of firms, including Hulu, MTV, and Myspace. Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at the internet security firm Sophos, told BBC News that the source of the trouble was Adobe Flash itself, which he called "one of the weirdest programs on the planet". "I think it's highly unlikely that these large companies have abused Flash cookies - which are different from browser cookies - with malicious intent," he said. "I think it's much more likely that the vast majority of users are simply oblivious to the bizarre way in which Adobe allows them to configure the software." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-10787882 And a more recent article: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/21/technology/21cookie.html?_r=3&scp=1&sq=flash&s t=cse -
Safari 5.1.2 private browsing logs you out of current site
Like it says, I log into a site, switch on private browsing, I'm suddenly 'not logged in'
Switch it off, & i'm miraculously logged back in.
So in short not only has safari 5.1.2 completely broken Chrome, Firefox & Unison, it's not screwed up private browsing.
I think the update should have said "introduces new bugs"
not happy & I can't fix itoops -
I had a 'special' moment.
I logged in before I switched to private - not vice versa.
silly me.
The update still broke everything else though -
I am receiving a message when going to a web site to turn off private browsing but Safari doesn't provide me the option to turn this off. As a matter of fact it doesn't show the option at all. Anyone know how to remedy this?
Tap the blue + sign in the upper right corner of the Safari toolbar to open a new tab. Then look in the lower left portion of the screen for the word "Private". Tap that to turn off private browsing.

Safari on the IPAD has the following problem.
When set to private browsing and only accept cookies from sites I visit does not retain them after I shutdown Safari and then later restart it. I also found out that even if I leave it in background and close the cover of my case it will not retain the cookies even though I did not deactivate it.
Things like email Ids and cookies that contain site specific favorites get deleted.
Here is a site where you can set a series of favorites which get stored as cookies.

Any Ideas... I have tried various settings but only public browseing keeps the cookies. I use private browsing to curtail popups and various trash from bothering me on my IPAD and Safari....Safari on the IPAD has the following problem.

Safari, "Private Browsing" - why are cookies saved?
I normally use Private Browsing out of habit on all my computers using Safari but I do have a few questions on it -
Why are cookies saved even when "private browsing"? go to one genealogy site that requires membership and the cookies from that site are always present in my cache. Are pages also being saved in the page cache as well?
What is so "private" if info can be assembled?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.
