Learn how to delete Safari Cookies permanently!

I posted this way because there are so many questions on deleted cookies reappearing. I had the following cookie reappear (eBay) after deleting it every which way possible: manually, deleting all cookies, deleting cache, etc.....

I have Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 using Safari 10.0.1


I did the following and it worked. 🙂

On the Finder menu use "Go" then "Go to Folder..." the default folder is "~/Library" hit "Go"

Go to the "Safari" folder then in the "Databases" sub-folder.

There you should find another sub-folder "__IndexedDB" inside of that you will find subfolders of :


All the cookies that keep reappearing 😮


Just delete the folder of the cookie you no longer want to reappear and Boom! Pow! they're gone.


So the path is:

~/Library/Safari/Databases/__IndexedDB/


Hope this helps all the users and Apple on fixing this bug.

Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), Safari 10.0.1
