Cookie 6 not recognizing "Full disk Access"
-
@smolk Cookie checks that it has access to the Safari Cookie file:
~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.binarycookiesAlso 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

@SweetP This worked for me.
@UncleFuzzy great!

Same problem here on Mojave, solved by restarting. Once I did that, Safari was accepted and enabled.

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 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 -

Cookie checks for the existence of Safariâs 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

for everyone still with issues,
here is the nuclear option, which may help:A full reset:
- Move Cookie 5 to the trash
- Export your favourites using the small heart icon in the bottom right of the âWebsitesâ tab
- Quit Cookie
- Remove Cookie, and Cookie 5 from System Preferences (Full Disk Access)
- Delete this folder:
~/Library/Contaniers/com.sweetpproductions.cookieapp - Restart your computer
- Then open Cookie,and run through the setup again.
- import your favorites back in using the same heart icon
Also Note:
Cookie looks for the existence of the
~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.binaryCookiesIf you donât have the file on your system, Cookie thinks it doesnât have dull disk access. If you have just installed your Operating System, or have never run Safari in regular NON private browsing mode. It wonât exist, and you will need to open Safari in NON private browsing mode and visit a few websites to generate the file.
@SweetP Thank you - that has been very helpful and all seems to be working okay now. Regards, R
