    @smolk Cookie checks that it has access to the Safari Cookie file:
    ~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies

    Also 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

    That file did not exist, but files with the same name but a temp ending did. Renaming one did not help.
    But then I deleted all (app, container files) and reinstalled everything from scratch and noticed the file ~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies did not exist.
    Thought once, then opened a website in Safari - and the file came into being. I immediately had Safari enabled.
    The file is indeed the crux and it is created by actually using Safari.

    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.

    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.binarycookies
    

    The ~ means it is in you user folder, which you can access like so:

    @LEoM I restarted with no luck. Stuck in an infinite loop trying to "Enable" for Safari.

    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 Yes it does. But it has a creation date of today. Unless it is destroyed at browser quit I would have expected it to have an older creation date

    @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

    @StuFried are you running Safari in private browsing mode?

    Cookie checks for the existence of Safariā€˜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

    @SweetP no, I am not running in private browsing mode.

    Something eventually shook loose and I am back running as I want with 3 browsers enabled for automatic removal.
