Safari Failure to Delete Cookies

The forum needs to keep the pressure up on this.

How to delete "database" Cookie?

Using Safari's "Manage Website Data..." followed by "Remove All" does not remove databases created by websites. They are SQLite files and are stored in:

~/Library/Safari/Databases

To delete databases created by websites, navigate to that folder and drag its contents to the Trash. To navigate to that folder, use the Finder's Go menu > Go to Folder... field. I recommend that you copy and paste the above to avoid errors.

Those databases will return upon loading the websites that create them, for whatever purpose that may entail. It can be assumed they are used to save login credentials and browsing history specific for that website, but other uses are certainly possible and are easily implemented.

macOS draws heavily from its iOS counterpart in that it makes extensive use of sqlite databases. That ability is incorporated in Webkit that Safari uses, and its use is not limited to Safari. SQLite can be used to create very compact and efficient database storage for a variety of purposes. Contacts and Mail also uses them. For more information refer to https://www.sqlite.org/.

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.

The forum needs to keep the pressure up on this.

Apple gets zero pressure from this site. They don't participate in it. Besides, Safari is working exactly as it should, so there is nothing to fix.
