On the bad side, I would like to know better how does Cookie differentiate between a regular Cookie and a Tracking-Cookie. I suspect it follows a name pattern, but I am unsure how effective this method is to ensure a correct labelling.
I use it everyday and I recommend it, as it saves time against the usual common solution: delete all cookies and log to every website again... Also very stable and easy to use.

I normally have Cookie set to delete tracking cookies about every 15 minutes. I set it to delete them manually when I have to deal with evil Google, which forces tracking cookies if you want to stay logged in to any of their services.
Considering the fact that this software is one fee only, no recurring fees (unlike, inexplicably, Cookie Stumbler) I don't know of any software superior to Cookie. The results speak for themselves as I've managed to keep the trackers flummoxed regarding my net surfing behavior, which is the idea.

Compared to Cookie's tracking cookie database of 122 (3.0.27), here's the very explicable reason as to why it costs more.

So huh? If this is the first time running Cookie, try setting up the application, log out, then log in again. At that point check out what it is doing in Activity Monitor. I haven't run into any application conflicts on my systems.

It has a clean easy-to-manage interface and thoroughly cleans out databases, local storage, flash cookies, tracking cookies, etc.
Recommended.

Older version of Cookie apparently were not seeing most installed Flash cookies. Right after I updated, Cookie showed be that I had 113 Flash cookies on my Mac that had apparently been hiding (for months?)!
So... zap. All gone.

3.0.25 was a big update, a total rewrite of the Flash handling, which is why 3.0.24 went a bit haywire.....
Cookie now sees all the user Flash cookies in Chrome/Chromium
It took me a while to implement, because of the amount of work needed, and time-restraints.

Cookie v3.0.24 has been prematurely released in the Mac App Store…. it has a major bug in the Flash handling. Ill upload v3.0.25 to Apple for review as soon as iTunes Connect opens from the holiday break tomorrow.
if you can, hold off on updating till 3.0.25 lands.
+3
you are correct.
v3.0.24 was uploaded befre the iTunes Connect holiday shutdown, and was then found to have the Flash bug.
because of the shutdown, i couldn't replace the binary.....
and it was even reviewed and approved during the shutdown?
I couldn't do anything to stop its release.
I have v3.0.25 ready to go, just waiting on Apple to review it.
hopefully it will be ready to go early next week

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.

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.
