Unable to delete Cookies in Monterey Unable to delete Cookies Safari->Preferences->Privacy->Manage Web Site Data and select "Remove all" and there the Cookies remain. Unable to remove "Manually," there's lots of "HowTo's" out there but all don't seem to apply to OS Monterey. Hit this Problem on OS Big Sur, updated then the Problem went away. Same Problem on my 2014 MacBook Pro under Big Sur. That was resolved by the update to version 11.7.4 (on the MacBook). Question is, is there a reliable way to manually remove Cookies? (excluding Onyx and erasing History from advance options under developer tools) or is there an update coming (12.6.3 currently here) that will fix the issue in the near future? Thx
