Trouble Removing Cookies

For some reason,I cannot permanently delete cookies. I remove all web data, and when I come back later, they have all returned. Any suggestions?.

After you remove cookies from a browser you must quit that browser first and then reopen it. If you don't quit they all reappear.


The only way to permanently remove a cookie is to specifically block it by name and that can be a long job if you have many.


Two thoughts. There is an easy to use app in App store named 'Cookie' which offers a simple way of removing them along with flash cookies and databases.


One of our senior contributors often writes that cookies are less worrisome than they are made out to be and keeping an eye on the unusual is more practical than removing them by rote.
