Delete Safari cookies so they stay deleted
One thing most people don't realize is that cookies (the Cookies.plist file) are shared amongst all applications that use the NSURL class. This means that other applications can write a cookie and Safari will see it when it starts up. This is the reason the google.com/PREF cookie keeps reappearing after deletion even if you have your Safari preference set to never accept cookies. This cookie gets set by a helper program that maintains the Safebrowsing database. Also, as has been pointed out, Safari keeps an internal copy of cookies which it periodically syncs back out to the Cookies.plist in your library. One side affect of this is that if you delete the Cookies.plist while Safari is open, when Safari next syncs it internal copy back to the cookie file, cookies you thought were deleted reappear. |
