I'm sure there used to be an option to only allow cookies from websites I visit in earlier versions of Safari so my question is have Apple removed some very useful functionality from Safari or have they just hidden somewhere else?

Hi...
Apple has apparently removed that option in Safari > Preferences > Privacy.
You can remove individual cookies by clicking Details from the Privacy pane.
If you like the "only from sites I visit" option, you may like using the Mozilla Firefox Web Browser better.

Chains,
I use Cookies by Sweet P Productions. It manages your cookies, letting you choose favorites for cookies, flash cookies, and databases (I didn't know about some of these so I had to educate myself!).
They also have a FREE app/extension/addon called Safari Cookies - only for Safari not other browsers. I started out using it, but it does install something called SIMBL, and I've heard negative things about it. Nothing serious, but I decided against it. The paid program is a true app/program and does not use SIMBL.
Right now, they actually have their Cookies program on sale (FREE stuff at the bottom of page). You can find their stuff here: http://sweetpproductions.com/
I have been using them for almost a year without any issues or problems and it's pretty easy to set up. It's worth it for you to check it out and decide for yourself.
Good luck!
Whats happened to the 'Only allow cookies from websites I visit' option gone in Safari 5.1.7?
