Blocking cookies from a particular site in Safari on iPad iOS 16.5

Is it possible to block cookies from particular sites in Safari? I didn't see such an option to do so, other than blocking all cookies. Similarly, Chrome on iPad lacks that feature, unlike Chrome on Windows. Thanks.

Thanks. Chrome on Windows allows you to black/whitelist specific sites to allow/disallow cookies. It doesn’t have that feature on iOS. It’s useful to get around cookies-based paywalls on various sites. I believe there’s a couple apps that may work for this.

As I understand your question, you want to block specific websites from saving cookies and related website data, but you still want the websites to load and work normally. That's sort of a tall order, and I don't know of an app or Safari Extension that can do that.


I wonder if there is more to your question. Perhaps you simply want to use Private Browsing for those websites?

It will not prevent cookies from being stored temporarily (routine website navigation often requires it) but they will be purged along with all other website data upon exiting Private Browsing.
