    After removing all non-favorites and tracking cookies, and restarting Safari with only THIS (sweetp) site open, the cookies still pour in. Looks like the same set over and over -- a bunch of commercial sites I've visited in the past few days. It's as if they have access to my history, but I don't want to delete my history, and I don't understand where these are coming from. Is there something I can read that explains all this? It would seem that if I don't want hundreds of cookies, I have to delete every two or three minutes. Thanks.

    Correction: turns out cookies don't pour in with just the sweetp site open; but when I open new york times (a favorite) I suddenly get 750 cookies, 19 databases, and 130 tracking cookies, in less than 30 seconds.

    those are advertising cookies most likely. disable third party cookies in you browser preferences, and that should fix the amount of cookies being dumped on your computer

    Thanks. But in Safari prefs there's only one option: Block all cookies. Apple claims that Safari, by default, allows only cookies from sites I visit, so I suppose that's why the option to block third-party cookies has disappeared from prefs?
