Safari cookies enabled but not working?

I've had issues on a few sites recently (I switched to a new laptop a couple months ago and never had issues on my old laptop/Safari) with cookies not working.

I've been getting this error message:

Please note that you are currently in private browsing mode or your cookies have been disabled, in order to earn miles with the Aeroplan eStore, your web browser must accept cookies.

I've doubled checked and my cookies ARE enabled in Safari and I've played around with every preference I can thinking of (allowing pop-ups, disabling malware protection, ad-block, etc). Nothing will get it to work.

Tried Chrome - no problem (so it's not an issue with my laptop settings, but rather Safari).

Any suggestions?

Between this and the loading sites into the wrong tab issue I really just need to make the switch to a browser that works. Ugh. :/

Might be a cookies or history (cache) glitch ...

Go to your Safari menu bar, click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab then click: Manage Website Data . It may take a minute or two for cookies to populate then click Remove All .

Then go to your Safari menu bar again, click History > Clear History

Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

Thanks for the tips - but not dice. I did try clearing my history previously with no luck, and doing the website data + history didn't work either.

Updated at: Feb 19, 2022

This guide will step you through the process of getting Cookies enabled in Safari on macOS.

Enable Cookies

The expanded Safari menu, showing the the Preferences item

The Safari Preferences screen will now appear.

Click the "Privacy" tab

The Safari Preferences screen has a number of sections, indicated by the various options along the top of the screen (General/Tabs/AutoFill etc). Click the Privacy item to see privacy related options.

The Preferences window, showing the Privacy tab

Choose your preferred Cookies and tracking settings

On the Privacy Preferences tab, you will see the " Website tracking: " and " Cookies and website data: " checkboxes.

The contents of the Safari Privacy tab.

Enabling Prevent cross-site tracking blocks third-party cookies from being set as well as third-party websites from storing data on your computer. Enabling this option is a good step in helping prevent companies from tracking your activity online.

Enabling Block all cookies will prevent block First-Party cookies, as well as Third-Party cookies. Enabling this may cause websites to not work properly, and Safari will warn you about this if you choose this option.

A good balance of settings is to enable Prevent cross-site tracking and disable Block all cookies .

If you click the Manage Website Data button you'll see a list of website domains which have stored data on your computer. You can remove some or all of them.

Close the Preferences window

Once you have configured your cookie blocking preferences, you can simply close this window and continue using Safari.

The red Close button for the Preferences window.

Congratulations, you just configured Cookies in Safari. Click here to check if Cookies are enabled.

You may also want to take a moment to clear your cookies and history in Safari .

Safari and Third-Party Cookies

After extensive testing and debugging, we have found that when you enable Block cross-site tracking in Safari it will still hold on to the third-party cookies and keep using them until you restart Safari.

So if you choose to enable Block cross-site tracking in Safari, make sure you restart (and preferably Reset Safari) to ensure that it doesn't keep using any third party cookies it may have cached.

Manage cookies and website data

Websites often store cookies and other data on your Mac. This data may include information that you have provided, such as your name, email address, and preferences. This data helps websites identify you when you return so the site can provide services for you and show information that might be of interest to you.

By default, Safari accepts cookies and website data only from websites you visit. This helps prevent certain advertisers from storing data on your Mac. You can change options in Safari preferences so that Safari always accepts or always blocks cookies and other website data.

Open Safari for me

Important:   Changing your cookie preferences or removing cookies and website data in Safari may change or remove them in other apps, including Dashboard.

Choose Safari > Preferences, click Privacy, then do any of the following:

Change which cookies and website data are accepted: Select a “Cookies and website data” option:

Always block: Safari doesn’t let any websites, third parties, or advertisers store cookies and other data on your Mac. This may prevent some websites from working properly.

Allow from current website only: Safari accepts cookies and website data only from the website you’re currently visiting. Websites often have embedded content from other sources. Safari does not allow these third parties to store or access cookies or other data.

Allow from websites I visit: Safari accepts cookies and website data only from websites you visit. Safari uses your existing cookies to determine whether you have visited a website before. Selecting this option helps prevent websites that have embedded content in other websites you browse from storing cookies and data on your Mac.

Always allow: Safari lets all websites, third parties, and advertisers store cookies and other data on your Mac.

Remove stored cookies and data: Click Remove All Website Data, or click Details, select one or more websites, then click Remove.

Removing the data may reduce tracking, but may also log you out of websites or change website behavior.

See which websites store cookies or data: Click Details.

Ask websites not to track you: Some websites keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. You can have Safari ask sites and their third party content providers (including advertisers) not to track you.

With this option turned on, each time Safari fetches content from a website, Safari adds a request not to track you, but it’s up to the website to honor this request.

How to Manage Cookies in the Safari Browser

Excessive cookies can slow down any web browser

Tom Nelson is an engineer, programmer, network manager, and computer network and systems designer who has written for Other World Computing,and others. Tom is also president of Coyote Moon, Inc., a Macintosh and Windows consulting firm.

What to Know

  • Open Safari > select Preferences > Privacy tab.
  • In the Cookies and website data section, select Manage Website Data > select website(s) > Remove .

This article explains how to manage and delete cookies and caches in the Safari web browser. Information applies to Macs with macOS High Sierra (10.11) and later.

Delete Cookies and Cache in Safari

You can choose to delete all your stored cookies and caches or only specific data you want to remove, leaving the others behind.

Launch Safari, go to the Safari menu, then select Preferences .

In the window that opens, go to the Privacy tab.

In the Cookies and website data section, select Manage Website Data to open an alphabetical list of the websites for which your computer is storing data, including cookies and caches.

To delete a single website, scroll through the alphabetical list, or use the search field. Select it, then choose Remove to delete any data your computer stores for that website. This can be helpful when you have problems with a specific website.

Select multiple sequential websites using the Shift key. Select the first cookie, then hold the Shift key and select the second website. Any websites in between the two are selected.

Use the Command key to select noncontiguous websites. Select the first cookie and then hold the Command key as you select each additional cookie.

Select Remove to delete the selected cookies.

Select Remove All to delete all the websites on the list. No selection is necessary. You are prompted to confirm that you want to delete all the data stored by the websites. Confirm by selecting Remove Now in the pop-up window.

Delete Safari Caches

If you prefer to leave the cookies in place and delete only the caches, do so through the Developer menu on the Safari menu bar. The Developer menu isn't enabled by default. You turn it on in the Safari preferences menu and then clear the caches:

In the window that opens, go to the Advanced tab.

Select the Show Develop menu in menu bar check box and close the preference screen.

Select Develop in the Safari menu bar, then select Empty Caches .

Alternatively, press Option + Command + E on the keyboard.

This is an all-or-nothing option. You can't select individual caches to remove in the Develop menu.

Corrupt Cookies Affect the Safari Experience

When a web browser accumulates cookies over a long time, bad things can happen. Cookies eventually become out of date, consuming space while serving no benefit. Cookies can also become corrupt from Safari freezes, power outages, unplanned Mac shutdowns, and other events. Eventually, you may find that Safari and some websites no longer work well together, if at all.

Troubleshooting the reason Safari and a website fail to work well together is challenging. A corrupt cookie or cached data may be the culprit.

Additional Information About iPhone Cookies

Let’s talk about cookies. No, not the kind you eat with milk! I’m talking about the tiny pieces of data websites store on your device. If you’ve got an iPhone, you’ve probably seen messages about cookies popping up while browsing. So, what’s the deal? Are they good, bad, or just plain confusing? Let’s break it down.

A Crumbly Introduction to Cookies

Imagine walking into your favorite store and the salesperson remembers your name, what you last bought, and even your favorite color. It feels pretty special, right? That’s sort of what cookies do for websites. They help sites remember stuff about you, making your online experience smoother. When a website remembers your login details, shopping cart items, or settings, that’s cookies working their magic.

Why Would I Want to Allow Cookies on My iPhone?

Smooth Sailing : Websites use cookies to make things faster and easier. Hate typing in your username and password every single time? Cookies have your back!

Personal Touch : Ever noticed ads or content that seem like they were picked just for you? Cookies help websites tailor things to your taste.

Remember the Details : Whether it’s saving items in a shopping cart or keeping track of your progress in a game, cookies store these little details.

Sounds Great, But Are There Any Downsides?

Of course, like everything, cookies have a flip side. Sometimes, they can be a tad nosy. If you’re someone who values privacy, you might not like the idea of websites tracking what you’re up to. And let’s be real, nobody likes too many ads. Cookies can lead to a lot of personalized ads, which can sometimes feel overwhelming.

What happens if I block all cookies?

When you block all cookies, websites may not function as intended. You might need to sign in every time or some features might not work.

Can I choose which websites save cookies?

Yes! Safari on iPhone lets you choose which sites you trust. This is a middle ground between blocking all cookies and allowing them everywhere.

Do cookies harm my iPhone?

Cookies themselves are harmless. They’re just data. But, if a website is shady, it might misuse cookies. It’s always good to only allow cookies from sites you trust.

How often should I clear cookies from my iPhone?

Clearing cookies is like spring cleaning. You can do it whenever you feel your browsing is getting cluttered. Some folks do it monthly, while others, only when there’s an issue.

What’s the difference between cookies and cache?

While cookies store details about your interactions, cache is like a memory bank that helps websites load faster. They’re both there to make your life easier, but they do different things.

More About Cookies

For those who dive deep, there’s more to cookies than meets the eye. There are various types like session cookies, which vanish once you close your browser, and persistent cookies that hang around longer. Plus, there’s a difference between first-party cookies (from the site you’re on) and third-party cookies (from advertisers or others). You can even dive into settings on your iPhone to tweak these specifics if you’re feeling adventurous.

In conclusion, cookies on your iPhone can be friends or foes – it all depends on how you see them. They sure make life online easier, but if privacy is your jam, you’ve got controls in your hands. Either way, now you’re equipped with the knowledge to make an informed choice. So, to allow or not to allow? The cookie crumbles in your court!

How to enable cookies on iPhone to personalize your web browsing experience

  • You can enable cookies for the iPhone's Safari browser in the Settings app.
  • Many websites require the use of cookies for better performance.
  • While cookies help personalize and stream your web browsing experience, you can manage how third-party companies track you.

You sometimes hear advice from security- and privacy-minded individuals suggesting that you should block or disable all cookies in your web browser . But is that really the best advice?

While third-party cookies are used by ad companies to track you as you go around the internet, first-party cookies are actually practical. First-party cookies allow browsers to remember important user info — like usernames, passwords, and language preferences — so you have a better user experience. 

Generally speaking, it's a good idea to leave first-party cookies enabled to personalize and streamline your web browsing. That said, there are measures you can take so third-party content providers do not collect your personal data. 

How to enable cookies on iPhone in Chrome and Firefox

If you use a third-party browser like Chrome or Firefox, cookies are enabled by default, and you do not have the option to disable them.

You do, however, have the option to disable third-party cookies. Here's how to manage cookies for Chrome and Firefox:

  • Chrome: On your iPhone, go to Settings , and then select Chrome . From there, make sure Allow Cross-Website Tracking is disabled.
  • Firefox: On your iPhone, go to Settings , and then select Firefox . From there, make sure Allow Cross-Website Tracking is disabled.

Full Third-Party Cookie Blocking and More

Mar 24, 2020

by John Wilander

@johnwilander

This blog post covers several enhancements to Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) in iOS and iPadOS 13.4 and Safari 13.1 on macOS to address our latest discoveries in the industry around tracking.

Full Third-Party Cookie Blocking

Cookies for cross-site resources are now blocked by default across the board. This is a significant improvement for privacy since it removes any sense of exceptions or “a little bit of cross-site tracking is allowed.”

It might seem like a bigger change than it is. But we’ve added so many restrictions to ITP since its initial release in 2017 that we are now at a place where most third-party cookies are already blocked in Safari. To keep supporting cross-site integration, we shipped the Storage Access API two years ago to provide the means for authenticated embeds to get cookie access with mandatory user control . It is going through the standards process in the W3C Privacy Community Group right now.

Regardless of the size of this change, there are further benefits, as explored below.

Paves the Way For Other Browsers

Safari continues to pave the way for privacy on the web, this time as the first mainstream browser to fully block third-party cookies by default. As far as we know, only the Tor Browser has featured full third-party cookie blocking by default before Safari, but Brave just has a few exceptions left in its blocking so in practice they are in the same good place. We know Chrome wants this behavior too and they announced that they’ll be shipping it by 2022 .

We will report on our experiences of full third-party cookie blocking to the privacy groups in W3C to help other browsers take the leap.

Removes Statefulness From Cookie Blocking

Full third-party cookie blocking removes statefulness in cookie blocking. As discussed in our December 2019 blog post , the internal state of tracking prevention could be turned into a tracking vector. Full third-party cookie blocking makes sure there’s no ITP state that can be detected through cookie blocking behavior. We’d like to again thank Google for initiating this analysis through their report.

Disables Login Fingerprinting

As discussed by Jeremiah Grossman back in 2008 and Tom Anthony in 2012 , and set up by Robin Linus in 2016 as a live demo with which you can test your browser , this technique allows a website to invisibly detect where you are logged in and is viable in any browser without full third-party cookie blocking.

Since “global browser state” has been top of mind in the web privacy community as of late, we’d like to point out that cookies themselves are global state and unless the browser blocks or partitions them in third-party contexts, they allow for cross-site leakage of user information such as login fingerprinting.

Additional Benefits

In addition, there are further benefits to full third-party cookie blocking:

  • Disables cross-site request forgery attacks against websites through third-party requests. Note that you still need to protect against forged requests that come in through top frame navigations (see SameSite cookies for guidance).
  • Removes the ability to use an auxiliary third-party domain to identify users. Such a setup could otherwise persist IDs even when users delete website data for the first party.
  • Simplifies things for developers. Now it’s as easy as possible: If you need cookie access as third-party, use the Storage Access API.

What About the Classifier?

ITP’s classifier keeps working to detect bounce trackers, tracker collusion, and link decoration tracking.

Developer Guidance

If yours is among the few websites that still relies on third-party cookies in Safari and has not been affected by ITP in its previous iterations, here’s how you can make things work for your users:

Option 1 : OAuth 2.0 Authorization with which the authenticating domain (in your case, the third-party that expects cookies) forwards an authorization token to your website which you consume and use to establish a first-party login session with a server-set Secure and HttpOnly cookie .

Option 2 : The Storage Access API with which the third-party can request permission to get access to its first-party cookies.

Option 3 : The temporary compatibility fix for popups, see section “Temporary Compatibility Fix: Automatic Storage Access for Popups” in our ITP 2.0 blog post . This compatibility fix allows the third-party to open a popup from your website and upon a tap or click in that popup gain temporary cookie access under the opener page on your website. Note that this compatibility fix will go away in a future version of Safari so only go this route if it saves you time and allows for a graceful transition period.

Cookie Blocking Latch Mode

The original release of ITP featured what we call “cookie blocking latch mode.” It means once a request is blocked from using cookies, all redirects of that request are also blocked from using cookies. Back in 2017 we got a request to allow cookie blocking to open and close on redirects and implemented that behavior. But with full third-party cookie blocking in place, latch mode is back.

7-Day Cap on All Script-Writeable Storage

Back in February 2019 , we announced that ITP would cap the expiry of client-side cookies to seven days. That change curbed third-party scripts’ use of first-party cookies for the purposes of cross-site tracking.

However, as many anticipated, third-party scripts moved to other means of first-party storage such as LocalStorage. If you have a look at what’s stored in the first-party space on many websites today, it’s littered with data keyed as various forms of “tracker brand user ID.” To make matters worse, APIs like LocalStorage have no expiry function at all, i.e. websites cannot even ask browsers to put a limit on how long such storage should stay around.

Now ITP has aligned the remaining script-writable storage forms with the existing client-side cookie restriction, deleting all of a website’s script-writable storage after seven days of Safari use without user interaction on the site. These are the script-writable storage forms affected (excluding some legacy website data types):

  • LocalStorage
  • SessionStorage
  • Service Worker registrations and cache

A Note On Web Applications Added to the Home Screen

As mentioned, the seven-day cap on script-writable storage is gated on “after seven days of Safari use without user interaction on the site.” That is the case in Safari. Web applications added to the home screen are not part of Safari and thus have their own counter of days of use. Their days of use will match actual use of the web application which resets the timer. We do not expect the first-party in such a web application to have its website data deleted.

If your web application does experience website data deletion, please let us know since we would consider it a serious bug. It is not the intention of Intelligent Tracking Prevention to delete website data for first parties in web applications.

Cross-Site document.referrer Downgraded to Origin

All cross-site document.referrer s are downgraded to their origin. This matches the already downgraded cross-site referrer request headers .

Detection of Delayed Bounce Tracking

Some trackers have started to delay their navigational redirects, probably to evade ITP’s bounce tracking detection. This manifests as the webpage disappearing and reloading shortly after you land on it. We’ve added logic to cover such delayed bounce tracking and detect them just like instant bounces.

Testing Your Website

We encourage all developers to regularly test their websites with Safari Technology Preview (STP) and our betas of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Major changes to ITP and WebKit in general are included in the betas and STP, typically months before shipping. An easy way to stay ahead of the changes is to use STP as a daily development browser. This gives you access to the latest developer tools and helps you discover unexpected behavior in your websites with each release. If you come across bugs or breakage, please file an open source bug report .
