When starting, it keeps requesting a permission interminably. Seems to be for Library/Preferences. I keep allowing, it keeps popping up.

That wasn't it, but I redid preferences, and it returned to normal. Thanks anyway.

Starting this afternoon (earlier in the day it was OK), three things are happening:

1. The icon now shows as white on black instead of the other way around,

2. I no longer have access to the dropdown menu from the icon - all entries are there, but greyed out. Display varies between normal, and once suddenly showed 863 cookies, which was spurious and way wrong.

Help?!

Happy to report that version 5.5.2 seems to have corrected this. Interestingly, while it works, there is a slight delay - while the menu is first displayed - before the pick is activated.

This issue has not gone away. And it seems less predictable as well. Most times, the first look shows the [font='Source Sans Pro', Tahoma, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif]"Remove Unwanted Safari Data"[/font] to be missing. Sometimes, later on in a session, it goes missing again after several good attempts. I can always get it back by clicking on the desktop and trying again. Strange.

Well, 5.2.1 appeared so soon after my initial post, I thought it had been corrected. Strangely, it seemed to be for one or two iterations of the sequence. Now, however, it reappears after each reboot. Was it thought to have been corrected, or is this just a coincidence? Thanks.

I am running 5.2 on Sierra 10.12.1. Since the last upgrade, each first time I want to "Remove Unwanted Safari Data" after a restart of Safari, that pick is greyed out. I simply click on the desktop and try again, and it is then highlighted. Easy to get around, but an issue?

I went to the App Store, DLed it, and it installed fine. Problem solved.

It isn't easy getting/being old.

Ah yes. It probably happened because I couldn't figure out how to DL 5.x from your site, so got it from Apple. Then I upgraded from your site.

Having said that, how do I make things right?

I am (have been for some time) running 5.0.3 on OS X 10.11.3 and Safari 9.0.3.

I went to delete unwanted cookies, and the spinning gear next to the menu bar icon never stopped. I restarted the system (the gear did not reappear), but it still shows a ton of unwanted cookies, etc. But the menu shows all entries dimmed so I can't choose the delete pick. I quit Cookie and tried to reinstall it, but I can't replace the app because it is running. I can't manually trash the app because it is open. Help!

More than four days and twenty or so restarts later, and the fix has been flawless. Thanks again.

I DLed it and have used it today - so far, so good. Thanks a lot for addressing this issue so quickly.

Thanks a lot. I wish all software providers were that interested.

Ok thanks, I understand. I guess the question is: can you do something to change that? Like offering a user choice that, immediately upon starting, allows Cookie to clean up then?

OK, I lied in the OP, because I find that I do not always terminate Safari before I restart. Thinking that could be an issue, I tested it, and in fact even then Cookie sometimes has cleared things out when I check immediately after restart.

Which brought to mind some possibilities/questions:

1. In fact you treat a restart as including a Safari termination, in which case it doesn't always work.
2. If I really do terminate the browser before a restart, sometimes events proceed so fast that Cookie doesn't have a chance to do the clear before the system actually quits, and doesn't remember after the restart.

If this is not, in fact, a bug (or feature as some used to call them :)), then I would love to see another check box in the Preferences which specifies to clean out the undesirables on system restart.

Firstly, I just love this product!

I run OS X 10.9 (Mavericks); Safari 7.0.1; Cookies 3.0.23; Remove: On Quit and On Browser Quit are both checked, Every: is not.

Sometimes - I am guessing a bit less than half the time - after I quit Safari, and after I then restart the system, looking at the "Cookie Window" before I do anything else I still have bunches of non-favorites and tracking cookies showing. I can manually delete them at that time. This seems to be an error.

It was (with hidden checked). I removed it, and it works correctly now. Thanks.

I had played with it for some time, and thought that I only got it to start by putting it in my Login Items. Apparently I was wrong. :@

Do I want to leave the cookies from you as a favorite?

I am running 3.0.19 on Mavericks, and this is happening to me. It ran for a day or two without the problem (I think), but now it always happens.

I didn't see another thread for this any newer, should I have?
