Cookie 6 not recognizing "Full disk Access"

[SweetP]

@StuFried does the cookie file exist?

~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies

[StuFried]

@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

[StuFried]

@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

[SweetP]

@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.

[SweetP]

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]

@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.
