Cookies are enabled by default in Safari on your Mac, iPhone, and iPad. If the features of a certain website aren't working properly or you're getting errors about cookies, you may have disabled cookies in your settings. This wikiHow article will teach you how to allow cookies in Safari, and show you what to do if cookies aren't working properly.

Things You Should Know

• Open Safari on your Mac. Go to Safari > Preferences… > Privacy and uncheck "Block all Cookies".

• Try clearing your cookies if you are having trouble loading websites—sometimes old cookies get in the way of saving the new version of a cookie.

Enabling Cookies on a Mac

• In most cases, you'll probably want to leave a checkmark in front of this option to preserve your privacy. However, if websites aren't loading properly or you can't use the features of certain sites, you may need to enable this option.

Enabling Cookies on iPhone and iPad

• In most cases, you'll probably want to leave this switch on, as this protects your privacy. However, if websites aren't loading properly or you're unable to use features of certain sites, you can enable this option and see if it resolves the problem.

Troubleshooting

• Mac: Click the Safari menu, select Preferences , click Privacy , and then remove the checkmark from "Prevent cross-site tracking."
• iPhone/iPad: Open your Settings , tap Safari , and then toggle the "Prevent Cross-Site Tracking" switch to the Off (white) position.

• First, check to make sure private browsing is not always set to turn on—click the Safari menu, select Preferences , click General , and click the "New windows open with" menu. [6] X Research source If "A new private window" is selected, choose A new window instead.
• Then, to open a new window, just close the currently open Safari window, click the File menu, and then select New Window .
• iPhone/iPad: Open Safari and tap the overlapping squares at the bottom. [7] X Research source Tap Private at the bottom (if you see it), select (number of) Tabs , and then tap Done .

• Mac: Click the Safari menu, click Preferences , click Privacy , click Manage Website Data , and then click Remove All .
• iPhone/iPad: Open Settings , tap Safari , tap Advanced , select Website Data , and then tap Remove All Website Data . [8] X Research source

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 Manage Website Data, select one or more websites, then click Remove or Remove All.

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 Manage Website Data.

Change how often websites ask to use your location information: Select a “Website use of location services” option:

Prompt for each website once each day: Safari prompts you once each day for each website you visit that requests use of location services.

Prompt for each website one time only: Safari only prompts you once for each website you visit that requests use of location services.

Deny without prompting: All websites are denied access to location services and Safari does not prompt you.

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 allow cookies on your Mac to save passwords and other important information

• You can allow cookies on your Mac from Safari's Preferences page.
• Allowing cookies lets your browser save important information like passwords and search history. 
• If you want to keep cookies from some sites only, you can selectively remove stored cookies by site. 

Cookies are the little snippets of data used to track your internet browsing patterns, which are then stored in your computer. Many people believe that cookies are overused for targeted advertisements, which can often be labeled as "creepy ."  

But cookies can actually be quite helpful. For example, cookies allow your computer to remember important information like log-in credentials so you don't always have to enter your password. Cookies also let you save items in a shopping cart when you're looking to buy something online.

If you'd like to allow cookies on your Mac's Safari web browser, here's how. 

How to allow cookies on Mac in Safari

1. Open your Safari web browser. 

2. On the left side of the toolbar at the very top of your screen, click Safari and select Preferences in the drop-down. 

3. In Preferences, go to the Privacy tab — the icon that looks like a hand in a circle. 

4. Next to Cookies and website data , make sure the box next to Block all cookies is not checked. 

Unchecking Block all cookies will allow any and all cookies to be stored by websites you visit as well as third-party trackers, which are typically advertisers. 

How to remove data stored by certain websites using Safari on Mac

In Mac's Safari, you can remove browsing data stored by certain websites you visit on your computer. 

2. In the left side of the toolbar at the very top of your screen, click Safari and select Preferences in the drop-down.

4. Under Block all cookies , click on Manage Website Data . 

5. Here you can remove information collected by certain sites by selecting a site in the list and clicking Remove at the bottom of the window. Or, you can remove information collected from all sites by clicking Remove all at the bottom of the window. Removing your cookie data might reduce the amount websites track you, but it might also log you out of certain websites.

6. Click Done in the bottom-right corner of the window when you're finished.

The Set-Cookie HTTP response header is used to send a cookie from the server to the user agent, so that the user agent can send it back to the server later. To send multiple cookies, multiple Set-Cookie headers should be sent in the same response.

Warning: Browsers block frontend JavaScript code from accessing the Set-Cookie header, as required by the Fetch spec, which defines Set-Cookie as a forbidden response-header name that must be filtered out from any response exposed to frontend code.

For more information, see the guide on Using HTTP cookies .

Defines the cookie name and its value. A cookie definition begins with a name-value pair.

A <cookie-name> can contain any US-ASCII characters except for: control characters ( ASCII characters 0 up to 31 and ASCII character 127) or separator characters (space, tab and the characters: ( ) < > @ , ; : \ " / [ ] ? = { } )

A <cookie-value> can optionally be wrapped in double quotes and include any US-ASCII character excluding control characters (ASCII characters 0 up to 31 and ASCII character 127), Whitespace , double quotes, commas, semicolons, and backslashes.

Encoding : Many implementations perform URL encoding on cookie values. However, this is not required by the RFC specification. The URL encoding does help to satisfy the requirements of the characters allowed for <cookie-value> .

Note: Some <cookie-name> have a specific semantic:

__Secure- prefix : Cookies with names starting with __Secure- (dash is part of the prefix) must be set with the secure flag from a secure page (HTTPS).

__Host- prefix : Cookies with names starting with __Host- must be set with the secure flag, must be from a secure page (HTTPS), must not have a domain specified (and therefore, are not sent to subdomains), and the path must be / .

Defines the host to which the cookie will be sent.

Only the current domain can be set as the value, or a domain of a higher order, unless it is a public suffix. Setting the domain will make the cookie available to it, as well as to all its subdomains.

If omitted, this attribute defaults to the host of the current document URL, not including subdomains.

Contrary to earlier specifications, leading dots in domain names ( .example.com ) are ignored.

Multiple host/domain values are not allowed, but if a domain is specified, then subdomains are always included.

Indicates the maximum lifetime of the cookie as an HTTP-date timestamp. See Date for the required formatting.

If unspecified, the cookie becomes a session cookie . A session finishes when the client shuts down, after which the session cookie is removed.

Warning: Many web browsers have a session restore feature that will save all tabs and restore them the next time the browser is used. Session cookies will also be restored, as if the browser was never closed.

When an Expires date is set, the deadline is relative to the client the cookie is being set on, not the server.

Forbids JavaScript from accessing the cookie, for example, through the Document.cookie property. Note that a cookie that has been created with HttpOnly will still be sent with JavaScript-initiated requests, for example, when calling XMLHttpRequest.send() or fetch() . This mitigates attacks against cross-site scripting ( XSS ).

Indicates the number of seconds until the cookie expires. A zero or negative number will expire the cookie immediately. If both Expires and Max-Age are set, Max-Age has precedence.

Indicates that the cookie should be stored using partitioned storage. See Cookies Having Independent Partitioned State (CHIPS) for more details.

Indicates the path that must exist in the requested URL for the browser to send the Cookie header.

The forward slash ( / ) character is interpreted as a directory separator, and subdirectories are matched as well. For example, for Path=/docs ,

• the request paths /docs , /docs/ , /docs/Web/ , and /docs/Web/HTTP will all match.
• the request paths / , /docsets , /fr/docs will not match.

Controls whether or not a cookie is sent with cross-site requests, providing some protection against cross-site request forgery attacks ( CSRF ).

The possible attribute values are:

Means that the browser sends the cookie only for same-site requests, that is, requests originating from the same site that set the cookie. If a request originates from a different domain or scheme (even with the same domain), no cookies with the SameSite=Strict attribute are sent.

Means that the cookie is not sent on cross-site requests, such as on requests to load images or frames, but is sent when a user is navigating to the origin site from an external site (for example, when following a link). This is the default behavior if the SameSite attribute is not specified.

Means that the browser sends the cookie with both cross-site and same-site requests. The Secure attribute must also be set when setting this value, like so SameSite=None; Secure . If Secure is missing an error will be logged:

Note: A Secure cookie is only sent to the server with an encrypted request over the HTTPS protocol. Note that insecure sites ( http: ) can't set cookies with the Secure directive, and therefore can't use SameSite=None .

Indicates that the cookie is sent to the server only when a request is made with the https: scheme (except on localhost), and therefore, is more resistant to man-in-the-middle attacks.

Note: Do not assume that Secure prevents all access to sensitive information in cookies (session keys, login details, etc.). Cookies with this attribute can still be read/modified either with access to the client's hard disk or from JavaScript if the HttpOnly cookie attribute is not set.

Insecure sites ( http: ) cannot set cookies with the Secure attribute (since Chrome 52 and Firefox 52). The https: requirements are ignored when the Secure attribute is set by localhost (since Chrome 89 and Firefox 75).

Session cookie

Session cookies are removed when the client shuts down. Cookies are session cookies if they do not specify the Expires or Max-Age attribute.

Permanent cookie

Permanent cookies are removed at a specific date ( Expires ) or after a specific length of time ( Max-Age ) and not when the client is closed.

Invalid domains

A cookie for a domain that does not include the server that set it should be rejected by the user agent .

The following cookie will be rejected if set by a server hosted on originalcompany.com :

A cookie for a subdomain of the serving domain will be rejected.

The following cookie will be rejected if set by a server hosted on example.com :

Cookie prefixes

Cookie names prefixed with __Secure- or __Host- can be used only if they are set with the secure attribute from a secure (HTTPS) origin.

In addition, cookies with the __Host- prefix must have a path of / (meaning any path at the host) and must not have a Domain attribute.

Warning: For clients that don't implement cookie prefixes, you cannot count on these additional assurances, and prefixed cookies will always be accepted.

Partitioned cookie

Note: Partitioned cookies must be set with Secure . In addition, it is recommended to use the __Host prefix when setting partitioned cookies to make them bound to the hostname and not the registrable domain.

Specifications

Browser compatibility.

BCD tables only load in the browser with JavaScript enabled. Enable JavaScript to view data.

Compatibility notes

• Starting with Chrome 52 and Firefox 52, insecure sites ( http: ) can't set cookies with the Secure attribute anymore.
• HTTP cookies
• Document.cookie

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.

Safari removes leading dot from Set-Cookie domain on local http webserver

I have a local webserver (puma-dev serving a Rails app) running on `mydomain.test` and which shares cookies over subdomains like `me.mydomain.test`.

The response from the webserver when I log in correctly includes a `Set-Cookie` header like so:

```

Set-Cookie: _mydomain_admin_session=abc123_a_long_token; domain=.mydomain.test; path=/; HttpOnly

However, when I look in the Storage panel of the Web Inspector, the cookie is there, but its domain is set to `mydomain.test`, which is incorrect. This means I cannot access http://me.mydomain.test because I don't have the cookie to authenticate. To get past this, every time I log in I have to edit the stored cookie manually to add the leading dot back in.

This works fine for Chrome and Firefox without needing to edit the cookie manually. Also, Safari correctly includes the leading dot for the same app in our production environment, so login works fine for our users.

Why is Safari removing the leading dot for my local webserver? Is there anything I can do to tell it keep the leading dot? I have ensured that Content Blockers are turned off for my local webserver, and unchecking "Prevent cross-site tracking" doesn't fix it for me so I've kept that checked for security when browsing other sites as Safari is now my main browser for personal usage and developing.

Thanks in advance,

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

• cookies and website data keep appearing Why do cookies and website data keep appearing - even after I clear them all, close down safari and don't visit any sites when reopening. I use private browsing. I have duckduckgo extension installed. I don't have any smart search field options enabled. There should be no reason for any cookies or website data to have to load in a brand new session. Is there any solution to this? Thanks! 1063 7
• [Safari 14][SameSite]Cookie is blocked when SameSite is set to Lax Reproduce Steps: Use window.open to open a new tab in Safari 14 In the original tab, using JS to create a FORM in the new opened tab and submit to redirect to a specified URL The cookie info which's SameSite is set to Lax is lost in the new tab. The reason should be, Safari 14 consider this scenario is carrying over cookie info from one tab to another tab and then block the cookies with SameSite set to Lax. However, actually the FORM is created and submitted in the new tab, there is no CORS happens, Safari should not block the cookie. Safari with old version and other browsers all will not block the cookie in this scenarios, so we consider this as an issue of Safari 14, please help verify. Thanks. 1225 1
