Safari Deletes Cookies Regularly

This has started happening recently (few weeks / months) where Safari is constantly asking me to accept cookies for sites that I have already said yes to, in many cases weekly or more frequently. I have not changed any settings but do keep my Mac up to date with OS updates in case anything changed.


It also irritatingly seems to apply to iTunes (forgets account information, constantly having to enter to play music I've purchased) and even logging into my Apple account (forgets my MacBook so I keep having to enter a pass code to authorise) ...


Any tips - it's just irritating?

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

For the cookies, some cookies have an expiration date and need to be replaced. That is controlled by the web site and there isn't anything you can do to change that.


iTunes might have a corrupt .plist. Do a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.


Quit the application.


Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist.  Move the .plist to your desktop.


Restart the computer, open the application, and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.


If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.


Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
