Cookie v7.3.6 not clearing cookies on Safari 18.0, MacOS Sonoma 14.7

CaptainProton

Kept OS on Sonoma, but updated to latest Safari. Cookie no longer clears non-favourites, tracking cookies, or anything.

I tried reinstalling cookie, ensured Full Disk Access, etc.

Is there anything else I should be looking to try?

SweetP

Ill look into this today

SweetP

its working for me,
try this:

Quit Cookie
Delete this Folder:
~/Library/Containers/Cookie
Empty the trash
Restart Cookie

Thanks, Russell;

Sadly, this hasn't done the trick.

Not sure if this is at all illuminating, but I see numerous reports such as this in the console:

default	13:23:20.316098-0400	Cookie	[0x600002546a30] activating connection: mach=true listener=false peer=false name=com.apple.scopedbookmarksagent.xpc

default	13:23:20.317112-0400	Cookie	[0x600002546a30] invalidated after the last release of the connection object

I'll keep poking around on my end and see if I see any fixes.

So, no luck for at least some non-favourites.

Clicking on 'Safari' on the left-hand 'Protected' panel reveals the different profiles. It looks like cookies that are associated with these might be being removed. But there are many in the global Safari context that aren't.

I can confirm that they remain:

after Safari restart,
after manually clicking Remove Non-Favourites,
after letting the timer fire, and
after right-clicking and selecting 'Remove' in the Cookie window.

I've trashed ~/Library/Containers/Cookie, reinstalled, double-checked Full-Disk access, verified it's not in trial mode and still no luck.

Thanks for any thoughts you might have...

so it seems the issue isn't macOS version since you're on Sonoma, it's Safari 18 incompatible with Cookie,

Im working today on improving Safari 18 support, and will look into this

this should now be fixed in v7.4. It's available on my servers now, and the App Store version will be available after review by Apple.

This didn't work for me - I can start the engine now, but I can't actually check anything in the "data to remove" windows. If I pause the engine it doesn't matter - all of the checkboxes are not interact-with-able. Hoping this is fixed in the new version as well.

(7.3.6 on Sonoma 14.7)

Just tried Cookie V 7.4. First impression is that it has fixed the issue for me. I'll put it through some tests and will report back.

Thanks!

Ive just updated Cookie to 7.4.1 which has more Safari 18 optimizations

Safari18 /MacOS Sequoia/Cookie 7.4.1. Hello Russel. Unable to activate Safari with full disk access unlike Firefox, Chrome and Edge that work. Thanks.

SweetP

@ghjorghju can you let me know if this version works for you:

CaptainProton

Can confirm that it's addressed this problem. Thank you!
