Delete after X minutes not working
-
Are you checking the Privacy tab in Safari?
If so, Safari doesn't reflect the true current state of cookies when deleted by an outside program. (i.e…. Cookie)
It will still list all cache cookies and databases. History display's the same behaviour.
You can test this by restarting Safari, which will force it to update its cookie references.If it's not this that you're seeing. Try toggling the Timer OFF/ON to see if that helps.

Looks like there may still be a problem. It works intermittently. 3.0.18 version, Macbook Pro, Mountain Lion, Safari (everything up-to-date). See these screenshots taken while I was on a single web page for 30 minutes.
They show a 5 min delete period and 247 cookies. 12 are Favorites. -
I also find that this seems to work sometimes but not others.
I understand I cannot verify it by looking in Safari, so I try to validate by seeing if my cookie set by a site to save a login sessions stays or goes.
Is there a better way we can do this so the developer can get the best possible information to work from?

I am on 10.8.4.
What I have found is that if I have the Cookie window open (as opposed to just having the Cookie icon in the menu bar), it works fine. Cookies disappear after a minute as planned.
However, if that window is closed, it seems to forget about deleting them..
Different question (maybe): I have 8 databases listed that I cannot delete. They belong to extensions from Chrome and Safari. Is that normal? They are not favorites, but "Remove" does nothing.

Cookie is working fine on Mavericks DP5, I haven't yet tested DP6, but I assume it will still work just fine.
The Extensions are "locked" by checking the preference (on the Preferences tab, - these are all Extension settings, and removing them may cause issues with the relevant extension):
"Treat all Browser Extensions as Favourites" -
This is still happening. It runs for a while, then quits deleting after X minutes. Mine is set to 5 mins.
I can get it to work again by deleting the cookie .plist file.Please look into this because it is basically making Cookie no longer useful. It is a wonderful app, when it is working right. I need it to work because I never close Safari. I am running on Mavericks.

I too am having the same issue with Safari on Mavericks. Actually I have noticed this as a problem for quite some time in previous OS and cookie versions. I am running the current 3.0.20 cookie.
Also to let you know. When bringing cookie to foremost app sometimes the cookie list will not refresh. I actually have to highlight a browser choice and then all the sudden the list of cookies will refresh.
