How to block certain cookies in Safari for macOS and iOS

Hi, i would love to block certain cookies from some companies (i very much dislike and i do not want them to store information about me) on all of my devices (mac, iPhone and iPad).


How could i do that - an extension for Safari would be perfect. It would block cookies from defined companies and let all others work unaffected.

Apple Safari can be configured to only accept first-party cookies:


Facebook and other entities maintain profiles of ~everybody — including those that don’t have Facebook logins — and those profiles and that tracking don’t depend on cookies for that storage.


You might be interested in an ad blocker extension, more generally. Whether that works with a particular website?

Thanks for your answer! I especially dislike cookies from companies that are inserted on pages where there should be non from them anyway. Like TikTok, facebook... - i never ever visit their site or use any of their "services" - but still get the cookies from them on other pages - what a "shcam".

I erase them at least weekly but would prefer if they would not be accepted at all (backlisting them). They don't do anything positive or good for me, the site or the internet - quite the opposite.
