Cookie 6 not recognizing "Full disk Access"
-
I continue to struggle with granting Cookie "Full Disk Access". No matter how many times I go through the process, I continue to get the attached error message when I launch the Cookie interface. Please advise. Thank you.
Cookie v6.0.7
macOS 10.15.2 (19C57) -
Do you always run Safari in Private browsing mode? If so, then the Cookies.binaryCookies file most likely does not exist.
Another thing to consider - Cookie does need to be in the Applications folder.

@SweetP Thank you for your reply.
Safari is never in private mode.
Cookie.app is in /Applications.Where should Cookies.binaryCookies be located? I cannot find it anywhere.
@HFTobeason it should be here:
~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.binarycookiesThe ~ means it is in you user folder, which you can access like so:

@smolk Cookie checks that it has access to the Safari Cookie file:
~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.binarycookiesAlso some users have found that if when enabling browsers - NOT selecting the Global permissions option, but selecting specific folder helps. If you initially opted to give Cookie Global access, try this:
- open the Advanced tab in Preferences
- click the Remove all Sandbox Permissions button.
- restart Cookie.
- enable specific folder permissions for each browser

@SweetP This worked for me.
@UncleFuzzy great!

Same problem here on Mojave, solved by restarting. Once I did that, Safari was accepted and enabled.

I had this problem after initially upgrading to Cookie6 but it was resolved.
BUT NOW, after allowing AppStore to upgrade me to 6.0.12, I am back in the loop of having to grant access.
System level is macOS 10.15.3
Cookie does have full disk access. I have quit Cookie, removed disk access, restarted system. Doesn't help.
I have had to disable Cookie to get ANY work done. -

@SweetP Hey @SweetP,
Wanted to update that I stopped the app, removed the permissions, removed application (using AppCleaner), restarted my computer, downloaded the app from the App Store.
Now I can not even enable Safari (Firefox and Chrome are OK), and it STILL does not recognize that it has "Full Disk Access" granted -

Cookie checks for the existence of Safari‘s Cookie file. Does it exist on your computer:
~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.binaryCookies -
@SweetP Hello Russel, many thanks, great, that did the trick! There was a Cookies.binaryCookies file, but it had a corrupt ending. I deleted all ookies.binaryCookies versions and all is working! Thanks for the quick help. Kind regards, A
