Trouble with cookies

I regularly clean out my cookies. But I can delete a hundred with the Safari preferences, and as soon as I log back into the internet, I have a hundred more instantly. What going on ?


I set preferences at 'allow from current website only'.


I have cleared out my library as well.

Cookies and website data will be populated from sources other than the obvious open pages and tabs. They include Top Sites, Quick Website Searches, Search Engine Suggestions, Top Hits and others.


Also, when you click "Remove All" it will take some time to delete all of them. The window will repopulate before it's finished removing everything, so let it take a moment or two to finish.
