Enabling Cookie5 on macOS Mojave (10.14)
-
I successfully followed the instructions here. Safari does not appear in the browsers list on the left side of the Cookie window. I checked the Safari box on install. How do I add Safari to the list of Browsers?
-
if you hover over the
Disabled
text at the bottom,
Show
should appear,
click on that to reveal Safari and you should be able to enable it -
@SweetP It is notworking for me! Everytime i login to my computer i'll get the remark to authorize although i have Cookie added.
-
@gkruijer this is so much more difficult than it needs to be. But that is an issue with macOS, Cookie is only reporting what the system tells it....
make sure that:
- Cookie is in your applications folder
- There are no other copies of Cookie on your computer
- Move the Cookie5.dmg file to the trash
Then:
- Remove Cookie from System Preferences
- Drag & Drop Cookie (from your Applications folder) into the Full Disk Access window in System Preferences
- Maybe also Restart your computer

I have tried all the above multiple times, including deleting full disk access and re adding it. No matter what I do, I still cannot enable Safari in Cookie 5.9.4. I've tried quitting Safari, Cookie, rebooting, everything I can think of, but to no avail! Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Jack -
are you adding Cookie to the list via drag and drop from the Applications folder?
-
I have the exact same problem but with Privatus, not matter what I do Safari is just not working with Privatus.
-
@SweetP Hi Russell, I have tried it both by dragging and dropping and with the "+" button, all to no avail. Help?

Does the Cookie file exist?
~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.binaryCookies -
No... odd?
-
thats where Safari stores its cookies, and also the file Cookie checks against to make sure it has system access.
are you using another cookie app, which may be deleting that file?
-
I just release v5.9.5 which im hoping fixes this issue. It is available in my store now, and after review by Apple will be in the Mac App Store.

Hi Russell,
Yes, the new update does seem to have fixed the problem! Thanks for a great product.Jack
-
@Jack thats great!
hopefully the Mac App Store version gets through review quickly
-
The Mac App Store update is also now available

I have the same problem. cookie 5 no longer working. using Mojave 10.14.2 with apple store cookie v5.9.5.
Cookie reports it has removed cookies on safari but they are all still there. They are all there when I check through safari preferences/privacy/managewebsitedata. I have allowed full disk access as described above.
How can I get cookie to work? -
@Stephen have you also restarted Safari?
Safari still reports cache/localstorage/history as still being present after removal by Cookie - until it is restarted.
-
@SweetP thanks. tried that. sadly cookie 5 is pretty much useless for me now

Same problem for me, Cookie (not from the Mac App Store) is no more useful for me since Mojave (even the last beta, 5.9.9.4), it always ask me for for full disk access. I've tried several time even with your method of 11-29-2018, without success...
Still no solution ? -
@Macfredx have you tried a computer restart? that can sometimes fix these strange issues
