Unable to delete ttwstatic cache
I work with an Apple M3, Tahoe 26.5.
When removing all Website Data from within Safari Settings/Privacy as part of my monthly cleaning routine, all is deletable except for "ttwstatic.com". This has not occurred before. Does anyone has a workaround for this one?

If you are on a Mac like the OP here, then start up in Safe Mode and try deleting the website data, then start up your Mac again normally.
Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support
Of course once you visit the website that stored the data/cookie it will return.
Do you have a web page open when you delete the Website Data?
If so, close all open windows first, then delete the data. Also on that same page in Settings, make sure Prevent cross-site Tracking is enabled.

You cannot remove website data if you have Screen Time locking down your Web Content. When you go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Content Restrictions > Web Content, it must be set to Unrestricted.
Just me speaking to myself (and whoever else is wondering...): the thing just disappeared without me having done anything in particular - I just looked again at the accumulated website data, didn't notice it, then successfully removed all data and concluded without any remainder...go figure...
By default, Safari opens with DuckDuckGo. Removing website data from DDG has never been an issue, though. And, yes, "Prevent cross-site tracking" is enabled.
Thanks for the update! I did have the same cookie on my Mac, but was able to delete it without any problem so had nothing further to add. Glad it was finally able to be removed for you.
Yeah, but why and how it suddenly disappeared remains a mystery (to me)...
Anyway, thanks for your feedback!

Software can be mysterious at times. 🤪
