@jazzilla here’s what you need to do:

export your favorites by right clicking in the cookies window and selecting Export Favorites. disable open at login quit Cookie 4, and move it to the trash open Cookie 6, and run through the setup import the favorites file you exported from Cookie4 by eight clicking in the cookies window and selecting Import Favorites

try restarting your computer,
also. Cookie checks for the existence of Safari's Cookies.binaryCookies file.

to make sure you have the file, visit a couple of sites in Safari NOT in private browsing mode. also if you have any other system cleaners. they may be removing the cookie file. (onyx, ccleaner etc...)

I was having problems with 5 going slow. Now I have upgraded to 6 - I am on a late '13 MBP current and 6 works flawlessly. I use it all the time including reading news sites that have a 5 free views / paywall per month.

6 =- fast and flawless. I have ben using cookie for 10+ years. thanks

@Timmy What about AdBlock for Safari?

The AdBlock for Safari App has got two Safari App Extensions: one for basic ad blocking functionality, and a second one (comes together with the app) that sets an icon in Safari to manage ad blocking details for every single page. With this icon (at least in older versions – I'm not sure whether or not it's still there.) you could block elements of the page like pictures, frames etc. from beeing displayed or printed. That seems to be exactly what you are looking for.

I was thinking of adding support for this, but Firefox doesn't really make it easy. but I cant see an way of effectively doing this...

that's great!

I bought Cookie 5 on the Mac App Store on Aug 4, I think a few days before Cookie 6 came out. Any chance on an upgrade?

@SweetP Thanks Russ. Having session open in current window would be awesome. I really like this app especially the autosave, nice!

I dont currently have plans to add support...

are you using the latest version of SRExport (v1.1)?
try re-downloading it:

perfect,
Ill maybe release it today as v6.0.3

you just need to click the Allow button. Cookie 6 needs access to that entire folder

here's also a post outlining how to get your data back:

I just sent you 4 crash logs. I didn't notice there was a reply here, so sorry for my slow response.

@SweetP I didn't realize I had to register for this support forum to get Cookie upgrade offers. I have sent several emails to SweetP asking if there is a "coupon" for an upgrade price since I first saw an announcement without any response. In my emails I sent my earliest license key (2013) and my license key for version 5. Now that I've found this forum, could you send me the special upgrade price coupon?

Just tried that. When cookie boots up and goes to the screen to 'allow access' it gets to library/preferences and then I select it (allow) and 'allow' does not appear in the window
next to library/preferences. All others appear OK
