Safari, Still accepts cookies even with setting set to NEVER

I cant understand, in Safari settings, I have set NEVER to accept cookies, and yet they still come in like clock work....tons of them...help anyone...
what up, anyone know.

If you serach the forums for issues with Safari cookies, you will see thousands of threads for the same subject.
If you really want to control cookies, you'd be better off using another browser like Firefox
Good idea to have a backup browser installed regardless in case you have problems with Safari.
You can select:  Ask websites to not track me in Safari > Preferences > Privacy

  • 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.

  • Cookies appearing even when set to "Never"

    Hi,
    Ever since the new Safari update, I constantly get cookies from Google, even though I have NEVER set in preferences under "accept cookies". This happens many times during the day, and I am constantly deleting it, but soon after it's there again.
    Can someone tell me how to stop this from happening?
    Thanks

    I constantly get cookies from Google, even though I have NEVER set in preferences under "accept cookies".
    But are you using a Google service, such as Google Desktop or Google Reader, etc. Those can set cookies, too. It doesn't have to be cookies from browsing.
    You don't need to constantly delete cookies. You can do that at the end of a browsing session; anything more frequent is wasting your time.

  • Firefox won't delete cookies even after set to clear cookies on firefox exit

    I have use custom settings for remembering history in firefox.
    I set to clear history on firefox close. Under this settings, I set to clear cookies, active login and cache. But whenever firefox exits it doesn't remove cookies.
    Also, I set to keep cookies till firefox closes. Still the cookies appears.
    This is a big security issue for me..When I click restore previous session, firefox restores the login into sites also which I don't want

    Got It!!!
    Go To: Firefox/Tools/Options/Privacy/Tracking Checked box/Tell websites I do not want to be tracked/ History Firefox will: Never Remember History/ You may also want to: clear all current history/ Clear now/ click OK, ---> got it, that is your answer.<-- (Right click the left image below to open in a new tab)
    And it is my answer as well, as I was confounded with this problem for some time. Now after you do this close your Firefox browser, and open back up Firefox browser, and there will be maybe only one or two cookies, depending on your browsers' home page.
    I tried other methods to get rid of persistent cookies that would not delete by, CookieKiller, and TACO Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out, those did not help, and I tried the methods listed on these links but they did not work:http://webdevwonders.com/clear-dom-storage/
    Also this method did not work:http://justplainobvious.blogspot.com/2009/03/firefox-wont-delete-cookies.html
    Next to make your Firefox browsing possible, go to/Firefox/Tools/Options/Privacy/,Tracking Checked box/Tell websites I do not want to be tracked, History Firefox will: Use custom settings for history, unchecked box Always use private browsing mode, unchecked box Remember my browsing history, unchecked box Remember download history, unchecked box Remember search and form history, checked box Accept cookies from sites, checked box Accept third party cookies, Keep until: I close Firefox, checked box clear history when Firefox closes, /settings all nine boxes checked/ click --->OK! (Right click the right image below to open in a new tab)
    All Cookies are gone/history/deleted.

  • After upgraded iOS5 on my ipad2, sound notification gone dead even with setting sound on

    After upgrading my ipad2 to ios5, sounds notification doesn't work, even though setting sound is on

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • All windows/tabs aren't opening from last session, even with setting checked. What's wrong?

    For a while now in Safari, if I have to close out the browser or restart my Mac for some reason, my previous tabs in Safari are not loading when I re-open Safari. I went online this week and did a change in Settings to where it would open up the option again in Safari to allow me to check "Reopen windows from last session", however, even with this selected, it did not re-open my tabs just now. This is such an unnecessary frustration and hassle. Can anyone please help?
    Oh, and the "Reopen last closed session" and "Reopen all windows from last session" is grayed out and unelectable if I try to bring them back that way in History.

    Thank you Linc! I did do what you suggested, and it did work.
    I noticed though (because I tried to close/re-open Safari several times to make sure it would consistently load my previous pages, that when I close the window but not the program) that I can "restore my previous session" or "last closed session" under the History menu if I merely close the window, but not the app/program although it doesn't automatically reload them; but, if I close the whole Safari app/program, when I re-open Safari it does reload all of my pages. I guess I'm writing that in case it helps someone else, but it can be confusing, and may be where my issue originally started.
    Okay, another thing is, when I look in Safari preferences now (after your suggested changes), Safari doesn't give me the option of "Open new windows with previous session". Does that matter, I guess, if my previous pages/session are/is loading? It doesn't seem to make sense that that preference is missing in Safari now, but my pages reload. Just some musings. No rush to reply. I'm new to Mac, but I do like to understand how things work.
    Thanks again!

  • 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.

  • Screensaver comes on, even when set to 'Never'

    On my TiBook 550MHz, 512MB RAM, running 10.4.11, I have this issue recently: screensaver is set to 'Never', but it does come on after a few minutes of inactivity. Hot Corners are disabled, so it's not that. Screensaver.plist file deleted, permissions repaired, safe-booted, then back to normal boot, problem persists.
    Any ideas, people? Thanks.

    Ah ,yes, sorry about my confusing the sleep thing, but those are the 2 pref files that hold ScreenSaver settings info, that may or may not be the problem, it can also be held in PRAM, or NVRAM.
    Does it boot into Open Firmware with CMDOption+of ?

  • Music levels from song to song still too varied-even with "sound check" on

    Hi,
    A friend bought an iPod in place of his CD player so he could shuffle lots of songs.
    The song volumes are inconsistent from song to song... sometimes too soft, sometimes too loud... even with "sound check" on...
    What is wrong? What should he try? It's worse than his CD player so he says...
    Thanks in advance.

    There are 3rd party programs that do this more effectively (at least in my opinion).
    For Macs there is iVolume.
    Also Macmp3Gain.

  • 46sl417u backlight keeps flickering even with setting adjustments

    Model 46sl417u , the backlight auto adjusts constantly and very noticeably, it's incredibly distracting especially at night. We have tried the following and none of it has helped:
    - Turned off Autoview
    -Turned off Dynalight
    - dropped Dynamic Contrast to 0
    - Toggled "Auto Brightness Sensor" to off
    This is driving me crazy...any suggestions?

    The flickering issue is included in awesome-FS#1084

    For future reference, you should look for and report about awesome issues on the awesome bugtracker. The dev doesn't use arch and won't be looking through these forums.

  • I still get cookies even when I select "never" under preferences, why?

    Using Safari, when I select "never" under preferences, I still recieve many cookies. I understand that if I am signed in to yahoo for example, the cookie will be replaced. However, if I am not signed in, but just connected to the net, I still get these cookies.
    If anybody can give me a little insight, that would be just great
    Thanks

    Many sites have come up with all sorts of ways around the cookie blocks in web browsers, tricks such as Flash cookies, "evercookies" and others. Those can be saved on your system even if you have a browser set to supposedly to block cookies. As with spam and junkmail-filter developers, it's sort of a war between the web sites and the people developing cookie blocks/filters. And note that you don't need to be signed into a site to get a cookie; all you need do is load any web page from the site and it may attempt to put one or more cookies on your browser.
    You may want to look into a more sophisticated cookie cleaner from a third-party developer. I use Cookies from SweetP Productions and it seems to clean out unwanted cookies quite well, but there are other similar products available.

  • IPad Pop3 email deleting from mail server even though set to NEVER

    Hello.
    We are experiencing a most strange behaviour with our e-mail.  We use a web host and access e-mail through POP3.
    Two of our users are experiencing similar problems, and this is how their lives are setup:
    1) Outlook 2010, set to remove e-mail from server once downloaded, however, we are manually polling to receive e-mails at will, rather than periodically.
    2) iPad 2 3G - Set to delete e-mails from server "never".
    3) iPhone 5 (ios 6) - Set to delete e-mails from server "never".
    One of the users is receiving e-mails to their iPad, but not to either of the other two devices, sometimes to the two i-devices but not t Outlook, and sometimes to all three.  Occasionally, they are not receiving e-mails at all.
    I have talked to our web host, and in all instances and testing we have done with them, they can see e-mails received, and deleted from the server. However, their logs cannot tell us anymore than that.
    Here's the scenario:
    1) Send an e-mail.  Check the web host e-mail interface and can see the e-mail has arrived in the user's inbox.
    2) Open e-mail on iPad.  Receive e-mail.  Refresh webmail to see if e-mail is still present, and it is.
    3) Hit send/receive in Outlook 2010.  E-mail not received in Outlook 2010.  Refresh webmail to see if e-mail is still present.  It is not.
    So from all indications, it looks like doing a send/receive in Outlook is deleting the message from the server, but it is not being received in outlook.  I should note here that we have done extensive searches to check if the e-mail was received into some other folder, and have setup a search folder of all e-mails received today, just to make sure we weren't missing anything. The e-mails are indeed never reaching Outlook.
    If we hit send/receive in Outlook 2010 after we receive the e-mail on the iPad AND HAVE CLOSED THE E-MAIL APP on the IPAD, then we DO receive the e-mail into Outlook 2010, and it disappears from the server.
    This would leave me to guess that POP3 is trying to latch on to the e-mail on the server from both the iPad and Outlook 2010 at the same time and is failing, but Outlook is deleting the message from the server before it can actually download it because iPad has POP3 locked.
    Anyone have any experience with this?  Any way to stop it from happening?

    Was this ever resolved?

  • Safari still creating website history with Private browsing on

    Since downloading Lion I have noticed that despite having Private Browsing on Safari regulalry records a history of web sites visited. It doesn't do it all the time but I now have no confidence in this faciltiy. Has anyone else had the same problem?

    This issue appears to be effecting Safari 5.1 in general, as I see this behavior both under Mac OS X 10.6.8 and OS X Lion 10.7. Still hoping to find a resolution, but I may suggest using "Report bugs to Apple..." under the Safari menu to ensure they are aware of this issue in the meantime.

  • IOS Still Sending ICMPs even with ACL on

    I tried to stop Cisco IOS from sending any ICMP unreachables. With the following config, IOS still sends an ICMP "Destination Unreachable" Communication Administratively Filtered" When I try to ping the router from over the internet, or access a blocked port Here is my config:
    interface GigabitEthernet0
    ! T1 connection to internet
    ip address dhcp
    ip access-group in_wan in
    ip access-group out_wan out
    no ip proxy-arp
    ip nat outside
    ip virtual-reassembly
    duplex auto
    speed auto
    ip access-list extended in_wan
    permit tcp any any established
    deny   udp any any eq domain
    deny   tcp any any eq domain
    permit udp any any
    permit icmp any any echo-reply
    deny   icmp any any log
    deny   ip any any log
    ip access-list extended out_wan
    permit icmp any any echo
    deny   icmp any any
    permit ip any any
    What did I do wrong, are these ACLs proper for production use? Thanks.

    Hi,
    The easiest way to prevent your router from sending ICMP unreachable would be to disable it on your interface:
    router#conf trouter(config)#interface GigabitEthernet0router(config-if)#no ip unreachables router(config-if)#
    The ACL you've pasted in your message should also block those messages but it is easier not to generate them at all.
