Are you having trouble with cookie settings on your Mac? Don’t worry, you are not alone. A lot of people struggle with cookie settings on their Macs and it can be a confusing process. In this blog post, we will go over how to change cookie settings on your Mac so that you can browse the web securely and enjoy a better online experience.
First off, let’s start by discussing what cookies are. Cookies are small pieces of data that websites store on your computer in order to identify it and track certain activities. They can be used for good or bad purposes, such as keeping you logged into a website or tracking your browsing history for targeted ads.
Now that we know what cookies are, let’s take a look at how to change cookie settings on your Mac. First off, the process is slightly different depending on which browser you are using. We will cover Safari, Chrome and Firefox in this blog post but there may be other browsers available as well.
For Safari:
Go to the Safari drop-down menu. Select Preferences and click Privacy in the top panel. Under ‘Block cookies’ select the option ‘Never’. This will allow all cookies from all websites without restriction. If you would like more control over which websites can set cookies, select ‘From visited’ instead – this will only allow cookies from websites you have visited recently to be set on your computer.
For Chrome:
Open your Settings and scroll down until you find Safari under Privacy & Security. Select “Block Cookies” and then choose either “Always Allow” or “Allow from Websites I Visit” – this will give you more control over which websites can set cookies on your computer.
For Firefox:
Open the Firefox menu in the top right corner of the browser window and select Preferences > Privacy & Security > Cookies & Site Data > Manage Permissions > Sites – here you can add specific sites were cookies are allowed or blocked as well as how long they should remain active before expiring (you can set them to expire immediately).
