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

    @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 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 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

                          @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.

                                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 “Websites” 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.binaryCookies

                                If you don’t have the file on your system, Cookie thinks it doesn’t have dull disk access. If you have just installed your Operating System, or have never run Safari in regular NON private browsing mode. It won’t exist, and you will need to open Safari in NON private browsing mode and visit a few websites to generate the file.
