A fantastic app for managing all of the cookies and related junk that advertisers throw at you while browsing. I use it with Safari but it supports FF, Chrome, Chromium and Camino as well (not sure about Opera).
What really sets this utility apart is the ability to clear not just traditional cookies, but the LocalStorage items and even Flash cookies which can be used by advertisers to track/profile. Dec is active and responsive as well.

This is a very useful and customizable app for managing cookies across many browsers. The developer is also very responsive and open to suggestions for improvements. All in all, this is a great app at a great price. I highly recommend.

I have released a new build version of v3.0.1 which will address the disappearing window issue. To those who have the issue, they can either use the fix:
http://sweetpproductions.com/products/cookie/Cookiev3.0fix.zip

or recommended, redownload Cookie and reinstall.

I apologise for all the problems this has caused all the users of Cookie.

v3.0 is a significant update, with a lot of additions/improvements, and this one bug managed to get through all my testing.

thanks for all your support.

Thanks for posting the fix. Even after upgrading to 3.0.1 I had the disappearing Silverlight tab. The fix solved the problem though so thank you for posting multiple solutions.

It works well when I am given the privilege of using it, even though I have already paid for it.

It is no longer available in the App Store which is where I bought it so I downloaded from the author's web site. It will no longer recognize my registration and it has lost all my preferences. So, I am outta here!

Did you take a look at his blog? He pulled Cookie from the MAS because of a bug. There is a fix for it, just go to his website and try to download the fix through his blog. I hope that helps...

I pulled Cookie from the AppStore because of the problems it was causing. But Apple has done a speedy review, and v3.0.1 has been accepted and should be available within the hour.

sorry for the inconvenience.

The best cookie management software that I have come across for Mac. You just set it up and then forget about it. Customer service is second to none as well. I had a problem with this version. I sent a mail to the developer and within minutes he mailed me a fix.

I assumed that using MacScan from time to time would allow me to get rid from tracking cookies. But Cookie seems to find many more.

Moreover, it allows to delete cookies where Safari does not do it properly.

In addition, it is very easy to use and works very well. I have now been using Cookie for a few weeks: never any problem with that application.

And it has made Safari more responsive - no longer those frequent Safari freezes I used to experience. I had never thought that had something to do with cookies, still find hard to believe it - but I can only share my experience: from the day I installed Cookie, problems I used to experience daily have nearly completely disappeared.

On 04 Jan 201 I commented with Firefox 9.0.1. sites sometimes behave strange, like YouTube that tend to not display all page-elements. Also other pages containing videos sometmes behave curious. Now, with FF 10.0.2 this is still the case. Restarting the browser solves the problems most of the times. Disabling Cookie shows the problem is caused by Cookie.
The developer advised just to uncheck the remove history option. While I unchecked this option on a regular basis, that doesn’t help.

This is an issue with Firefox cache removal, when used with the timer. You can disable either to fix the the problem.

The timer doesn't seem to be the cause. Btw, not only YouTube is problematic, but also Wikipedia. Other sites I visit seem to be O.K. now.

Sweetp Productions (developer) replied on 14 Mar 2012
im not sure there is much that can be done about this, Which is why I recommend that data is cleared when the browser is closed. All browsers tend to cache some data in RAM, and even though the data has been cleared on disk - the browser needs to be restarted to finalise changes. Firefox seems to now cache its cache, so that even though the data has been physically deleted, Firefox stills thinks it is there, leading to some rendering issues.

But i'll keep investigating, and see if there is a workaround.

Hi Emile,

you need to cull some of this cookies, you could either wait for Cookie to load (not really recommended, as it will take forever to parse that many cookies....) or you could manually remove some from within your browser. Not ideal, but you'll only need to do this once.

In other word, you say that Cookie can not manage a lot of cookies. If i could manage manually web cookies i don't need any application.
burypromote
Sweetp Productions (developer) replied on 29 Mar 2012
thats right, Cookie can't handle such a huge database, I don't know of any that can. This is probably why browsers have such rudimentary management systems built in.

cookie needs to parse every single cookie, 10,000 is a lot of anything. thats a lot of CPU cycles. You don't need that many cookies on your computer. The average user will have 40-50 or less sites that they visit regularly. Cookies related to these sites are the only ones which need to be on your computer. everything else is just taking up space.... or worse.... tracking you.

Once you have your Cookies down to a more manageable number, Cookie will automatically take care of all the undesirables for you - in the background - without any more intervention.

I just bought this application. It's seems to have an issue with CPU usage. I've used it for less than an hour and it's already become unresponsive a few times (one of them when deleting 1 cookie) + part of the time the CPU usage has been between 125 and 130 %.
