Version 5.9.2 release note says "removed support for Safari - now an optional install".

Would you please say more about what this means? I need support for Safari? What must one do for the optional install? Why is it optional? Does it cost something?

Thanks.

There's no evidence that Cookie does much while Safari is open. No sign that it runs a schedule that is set to run every minute. No sign "Remove all Safari Tracking Cookies" and "Remove all Unwanted Safari Data" through the menubar menu do anything. No sign that clicking "Remove All Tracking Cookies" in the Cookie Window does anything.

The Cookie Window says that there are tracking cookies, but no cookies in the list have the tracking cookie icon next to them.

Selecting a cookie in the Cookie Window and clicking on "Remove" does not seem to do anything.

Cookie does seem to remove cookies when I close Safari. And it deletes Safari's history while Safari is open if I ask it to.

Firefox is closed. One Firefox cookie is listed in the Cookie Window. I select it, then click on "Remove". It is not remove. A second Firefox cookie appears in the list. How can that be?

The number of cookies listed next to the browser names and the total of all windows are mostly incorrect.

Is Cookie just not ready for 10.11.1 yet or is there a deeper problem or something that I don't understand?

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick responses, Russell.

I don't recall the type of cookies when I last wrote. Right now, Cookie reports no cookies and Safari reports "Cookies" from four sites. In addition to those "Cookies" (whatever type they are), Safari reports a couple cache cookies and some local storage usage.

I did not know that Cookie does not delete session cookies. Information on http://cookieapp.com gives me the impression that a user has complete control over all cookies.

Thanks for your help.

Right now, Cookie reports one flash cookie and no other cookies. Safari reports cookies from eight websites, including a cache cookie from one of them. So seven non-cache cookies are reported by Safari, but none by Cookie. If I choose "Remove all unwanted Safari data", Cookie reports no cookies of any type and Safari continues to report the same eight cookies. It looks as if Cookie doesn't know about most cookies and is not deleting them. What am I not understanding?

Cookie says there are 0 - 4 cookies. Safari says there are 8 - 43. Deleting all cookies through Cookie does not reduce the number of cookies that Safari reports. Is Cookie doing anything? How can I tell?
