Oddly enough the timer started to work after I made the original post. I did not see any update or download. It just started working. I could tell it was working because previously when I quit a browser it would not remove cookies, etc. that I marked for removal by the timer, and when I quit a browser. In the cookie window when I quit a browser it now deletes all the unwanted information from the internet activity for the fist time in a long time.

When I originally started using Cookie I thought it was great.  It blocked all the cookies except my favorites.  IN Version 5.0.5 I selected everything in "Select Unwanted Data for REMOVAL From Your Browser".  See attachment  Under removal options I set it to delete everything every 5 minutes and whenever I quit a browser.  When I quit my browser there are still tons of unwanted cookies, including tracking cookies, still showing in the Cookie window.  I go in and delete all of them individually.  Why isn't Cookie deleting these cookies when I quit the Safari?  Why am I getting cookies from non-favorite websites?  Why am I getting cookies for third parties that I do not visit?

Why isn't it deleting every 5 minutes?

It is nice to see the cookies so I can delete them but Cookies does not appear to be doing anything automatically.

Thanx mrqwirk

As it turns out the issue had nothing to do with Cookie. Probably a coincidence that I installed Cookie at about the same time that the issue showed up. I did a bunch of work to find out what was going on. I finally figured out it must be a Flash issue.

A short while ago some random update site started updating my Flashplayer. I accidentally allowed it because I thought it was from Adobe. It was not from Adobe. I tried to disable the updater site which kept taking me to different sites every X number of times I started Safari. It did not work very well.

I eventually just deleted every thing associated with Flash and then some. At some point something or, maybe me, disabled Allow plug-ins in Safari preferences. That would not allow the fresh Flash to work. I enabled the Allow plug-ins setting in Safari Preferences. Everything, including Cookie, is now working fine.

Thanx mrqwirk

question:I whitelisted all the "tracking" cookies for iheart but it did not make any difference.

The iHeard site actually logs me into their system. I can see my user name at the top but it won't let me play any of the stations.

Is whitelisting the tracking cookies one at a time really going to make any difference since I already whitelisted all of them.

Using Safari 8.03

I cannot access iHeart radio since I installed Cookie. Every time I go to the website I get an error message that says http://www.iheart.com Specified PLAYER cannot function in this environment.

I click OK on the message. The web page loads. It will not let me play any of the radio stations.

I white listed all the cookies for iheart but it did not make any difference.
