How do i delete my history without being signed out of everywhere?

In the latest Safari version, you can no longer erase history without also erasing cookies (which is where your log in info is stored). I also clear history, usually when I'm done for the day as it makes the browser run faster (caching old history really is no longer needed what with the faster processors and more RAM - no need to make it look for old data). I cannot erase all cookies as I have a couple of pesky bank sites which will not recognize me without a cookie and I have to spend about an hour to get "recognized". So, I no longer use Safari, but Firefox instead. You can still customize what you want cleared and clear all/some history as well as manually delete selected cookies.Most financial sites do log you out automatically - as does this site.

Hold the Option key when selecting "Clear History" from the "Safari" menu. This will change it to "Clear History and Keep Website Data", which does not erase cookies.

As I said, in Safari it's all or nothing, but in Firefox, go to Preferences > Privacy. Click on Cookies and you'll get a pop up where you can selectively delete as many as you want (one at a time).

As for the history settings: select "clear history...." and then click on Settings and you can choose what you want deleted:

If you are using safari browser take cursor on top menu bar History , hold option key and scroll down , click on clear history and keep website data .

A pop - up window will appear , do the settings ( clear all history ) as shown in the screen shot and click on Clear History .

It will clear your history but website data ( cookies will not be deleted ) .

As cookies are small bits of information left on the computer by website you have visited , which let the website remember things about you .

What you are asking for is basically impossible, because it is contradictory.

You cannot clear history (therefore erasing the memory that you visite a site) and at the same time "remember" that you were logged in to that site.

Why, may I ask, are so intent on deleting history all the time?

You can customise it and choose the options by clicking on drop down arrows of clear all history .

Just to add to what Luis said, some sites automatically log people out after a certain length of inactivity.

Ahh, thanks - didn't know that (which is no surprise since I rarely use it).

This is the correct answer, thank you for posting.

Fortunately, that option/feature is still available a year later.

Well just like georgesparis, I like to delete my history because of an OCD.. I have nothing to hide but it's simply an OCD of mine..
