Cookie 6 not recognizing "Full disk Access"
-
@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 -

~/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
