How to clear Safari’s cache and cookies on Mac

There are a handful of situations when clearing Safari’s cookies or cache–one of the places where Safari stores website data to avoid having to download it afresh each time you access a site–can help improve your browsing experience.

The first is when websites simply stop working when you access them on Safari. Perhaps Facebook stops updating with new posts, for example, or the images on a site don’t appear as they should. If this happens, it’s likely the cache has become corrupted.

Alternatively, if you find that personal info automatically completed on sites isn’t correct, deleting cookies can help. These are small files that sites use to save data about you and what you do on the site.

Even if none of these problems affect you, periodically cleaning browser data can help protect your privacy from snoops who want to discover what you’ve been up to online. In this article, therefore, we explain how to clear Safari’s cache and cookies on Mac.

We also have an article that explains How to clear cache on a Mac.

How to clear Safari cookies and cache for websites

Cleaning cookies and the cache data for individual sites can be done via Safari’s Settings/Preferences.

• Open Safari
• Click on Safari in the menu at the top of the screen.
• Click on Settings or Preferences (depending on the version of macOS you are running).
• Go to the Privacy tab.
• Click on Manage Website Data…
• Choose Remove All or select websites individually to remove.

After the data is loaded you’ll probably see a long list of websites. You can choose to Remove All or just select individual websites you want to remove from this list. If you want to select a number of different sites you can click on one and then press and hold the Command key to select a second, third or fourth and so on. We recommend that you don’t select hundreds this way – it’s better to delete in batches just in case you have to start over.

If you would prefer to select all and then deselect the ones you want to keep you can do so. Use Command + A to select all, then press and hold Command while clicking on any website you are happy to keep in this list. Just click Remove afterwards, not Done, as that will just undo all your hard work.

There’s a search field you can use to track down individual sites.

Bear in mind that deleting cookies might remove autocompleted login usernames and passwords for sites, and will almost certainly log you out of that site if you’ve configured it to automatically log in each time you visit.

How to clear Safari cache

The hidden Safari Developer menu can be used to clear just the cache, leaving cookies and the browser history in place. This is a very useful diagnostic step to take before removing those two items if a website behaves badly.

If you just want to clear all your cache you can do so by following these steps:

• Open Safari.
• Click on Safari in menu bar at top of screen.
• Click on Settings/Preferences (depending on the version of macOS you are running).
• Click on the Advanced tab.
• Check the box beside Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar.
• Now there will be a new Develop tab in the menu at the top of your screen. Click on this.
• Click on Empty Caches.

Alternatively click on Option/Alt + Command + E.

Close any open Safari windows and select Empty Caches on the Develop menu. Then click File > New Window to start Safari with a clean cache.

How to remove autocomplete data from AutoFill

Safari’s AutoFill tool can fill in username and password details on websites as well as credit card details and other elements like your address and email details.

This can be really useful, but it can also be annoying if the data it fills in is incorrect or out of context. It’s also a problem when AutoFill helpfully enters old or incorrect passwords or emails and addresses.

You can change this data, or delete it by following these steps:

• Click on Safari.
• Click on Settings/Preferences.
• Choose the AutoFill tab.
• Here you can edit contact information, usernames and passwords, credit cards and other data. Click on Edit beside the category you want access to.
• You’ll need to enter your password or use Touch ID to gain access.

Delete incorrect data: If you are finding that Safari is autofilling incorrect data about you–your address, for example–click Edit beside Using information from my contacts. This will open up your Contacts app. Your card will be at the top or under My Card. You can add and amend data about you here.

Delete incorrect passwords and site logins: If you wanted to delete incorrect passwords, for example, you can just click on the Passwords tab. If you know which password you want to remove search for the website or service and then find the older password option (if there is more than one) and select it and then click on the – below the column to remove it. You can then select Delete Password. If that means there is no password saved for that website, you can then recreate the entry for the site by clicking the Add button. You’ll first need to provide the URL of the site (that is, something like https://facebook.com ), and then type the username and password alongside (hit the Tab key to move from field to field).

See: How to autofill passwords, bank cards, names and addresses for more.

Delete logins and passwords system-wide

Pruning site logins can also be done via the Keychain Access app, which you’ll find in the Utilities folder of the Applications list in Finder, although you should be very careful using this app because it pretty much controls the entire security operation of your Mac! However, by removing errant username and password entries here you’ll stop virtually all of your Mac apps using them, and not just Safari.

Just type the name of the site into the Search field, and look in the list of results for entries of the kind Web Form Password. Right-click the entry and select Delete.

Enable Cookies in Safari

Updated at: Feb 19, 2022

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

Enable Cookies

Click the "safari" menu.

Make sure you have a Safari window open and active; you will see the "Safari" menu in the top left of your screen. Click it and it will expand to show Safari specific options.

Click the "Preferences" menu item

Now that you have expanded the Safari menu, you will see the Preferences item - click on it.

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.

Choose your preferred Cookies and tracking settings

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

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.

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.

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!
