Safari 9 (El Capitan) is to save cookies in private browsing

Hello

I noticed that Safari 9 (OS X El Capitan) saves cookies when I'm in the private browsing window.

When I visit certain websites (e.g. gizmodo.com) in private browsing, and I close the window, the site cookie is always displayed.

I tried to restart the Mac, but private browsing Safari cookies have not been deleted.

Apple says that: "when you are using a private browsing window: Safari doesn't remember the changes to your cookies or other data from the website." (9 safari (El Capitan): private browsing windows use)

I find this strange because in Firefox or Google Chrome incognito mode deletes cookies when you close the window.

Please try this as a test.

1 empty Caches

Safari > Preferences > advanced

Tick the box "Show develop menu in menu bar."

Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.

Click on develop and select 'Empty cache' in the menu dropdown.

2 Delete Cookies

Safari > Preferences > privacy > Cookies and other data from the website:

Click on the button "Details".

Delete all cookies except those from Apple, your internet service provider and the banks.

3 safari > file > new private window

Try the gizmodo.com site.

Safari > Preferences > privacy > Cookies and other data from the website:

Cookie of Gizmodo appears?

I've tested this and there was no gizmodo stored cookie after you close the private window.

  • Safari 9: Impossible to disable private browsing

    Hello! I really need help. I wanted to remove private on my 9 Safari browsing and I found a lot of posts, websites and discussions on the withdrawal of private browsing, and above all, that's what I found:

    1. go to the folder applications in the Finder

    2. right click (with a mighty mouse mouse or mouse button 2 buttons, or Ctrl + click to the mouse) on safari and choose "Show Package Contents".

    3. navigate to the content, then resources, then English.lproj folder (or a respective folder for the language that you may have)

    4. double click on MainMenu.nib in interface builder open

    5. look at the window with the menu safari, click on Safari to expand it, and then click the private browsing menu item.

    6. press the DELETE key and it disappears!

    7. Press command + s for save, close the interface generator if you want and restart safari.

    So, I followed the steps up to the 4th, while I noticed there is no MainMenu.nib in my English.lproj. So, with that, I couldn't do anything. I tried to open the other s MainMenu.nib French, German, etc., but all were just pictures and had no REAL content. I really need help with that. I was about to uninstall Safari, but as I use El Capitan I couldn't, I then noticed that on El Capitan, you can not remove Safari. Please do help me.

    [NOTE] Most reason why I want to disable private browsing is any form of explicit results that is not suitable for certain ages. Until it came across my mind enables SafeSearch for private browsing, but because when you close a private window all cookies are removed, the SafeSearch option does not save (in which I wanted it). Based on this thread by Google: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#! subject, websearch, mJ-BUVoLA08

    It says I can use SafeSearch on windows private if I enable cookies from third party. I couldn't find a way to do it, so if you are unable to resolve the first issue, please do help me with this one if you can.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

  • Private browsing Safari

    Hello!

    Private browsing, Safari seems to be possible with this method that found in the activities of the apple community.  It was posted by Andy, I think!

    The suggestion was the following: Applications-> utilities-> Terminal.   In the Terminal, write the following without quotes "by default write com.apple.safari WebKitHistoryAgeInDaysLimit 0 there was this warning: not trested carefully... so beware a little."  To cancel: same command but with a number from 1 to 5 instead of the value 0.

    I tried recently and it seems to work as long as you leave I have Safari in the Dock and go to Safari using Outlook signature in.  This will give you a black search window which is the search engine of private browsing.   Thanks to this system: OS X El Capitan v10.11.5.

    You don't need to do this if you want to browse in private mode.  Go to Safari preferences-> general and where it says "open Safari with ', select"New window private."

  • How can I get permanent Private Browsing, I want to save passwords?

    I tried several times to turn off private browsing which requires a reboot. After the reboot, private browsing is always engaged. What I want, it is to be able to save passwords from time to time and can't restore that work in private browsing.

    Your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.
    The user.js file will be present if you or a other software created this file and normally will not present.

    You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: 'Open with'; do not double-click).
    The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    You can remove the user.js file if you do not create this file yourself.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    Windows hides certain default file extensions.
    Among them .html and .txt, so you can see only a file name without .ini and .js file extension.
    You can see the type of actual file (file extension) in the properties of the file via the context menu in Windows Explorer.

    21 Firefox private browsing window does not. Cookies are still shared between the tabs and private browsing windows. Even with the private tab addon, still does not.

  • List of sites Web which are allowed to set cookies is deleted every time when the browser is closed (private browsing is turned on). How can I fix it?

    I just upgraded to Firefox 20.0 and now outside my cookies-whitelist was abolished after the upgrade, it is eliminated whenever I close the browser. I always used the private browsing and you want to keep it this way, if this bug (I hope that it has not expected behavior) is really annoying.
    Another thing that bugged me since the previous version is, that cookies set by the authorized websites (those on the whitelist) appear no more. If cookies have been set, why should not be shown? Problems persist even with no active addons.
    I would appreciate if this problem has been corrected or if anyone has a solution to these problems. Thank you.

    • do not delete Site preferences

    Using Firefox 19.0.2

    Is it possible to allow Firefox to display ONLY the cookies of the current session in private browsing mode, rather than a list of my regular cookies?

    First, basic cookies management seem to work fine for me, in both normal mode and private browsing: Cookies set during private browsing are removed as expected when you exit Firefox or switch to normal navigation.

    HOWEVER...

    I can't SEE the new cookies set during a private browsing session.

    If I start Firefox normally, switch to private browsing mode and then go to Options > show Cookies, the window opens showing a long list of my 'normal' cookies

    Previously, the cookies window seems to be EMPTY at the start of a private browsing session. After a while of browsing and then recheck the list I see only the cookies set in this private browsing session.

    Now, during a private session, when I re - check the list of cookies for navigation I see my regular cookies, and NONE of the new session cookies appear in this list (the same cookies appear as before switching to the private mode).

    I tried to start Firefox in Mode safe, without a change in behavior. I also tried to disable the modules, without change.

    List of installed modules:

    Adblock Plus 2.2.3
    BetterPrivacy 1.6.8
    Ghostery 2.9.3
