Cookie 6 not recognizing "Full disk Access"
-
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.
Cookie v6.0.7
macOS 10.15.2 (19C57) -
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.binarycookiesThe ~ means it is in you user folder, which you can access like so:

@SweetP This worked for me.
-
@UncleFuzzy great!
-
@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. -
@StuFried does the cookie file exist?
~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies -
@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 Its been 4 days since I answered your question. Any ideas?

@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?
-
Same problem here, tried full uninstall / run maintenance tools / reboots. Cookie v6.0.12 on Catalina 10.15.4.
-
Cookie checks for the existence of Safari‘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
-
@AF perfect!
-
@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.
-
I could fix this after migrating to a new MacBook Pro with Catalina only by a complete removal of Cookie and a completely new installation. It was driving me nuts once Cookie was opened at boot - I had to shut it down with Activity Monitor.
-
I forgot to note that removing the Cookies.binaryCookies file alone did not help, but after deleting Cookie (via AppCleaner) and reinstalling it was OK.
