Hi guys!
Few weeks ago, I was trying to enter on the reddit.com and it told me that I can't get access and I need to clean my cookies.
Yesterday, again, when I tried to do the same but to this site essaypaper.help I've received this message.
Why does it always say to me that I need to clean my cookies. Every time. What can I do, maybe somewhere on the mac is a folder with my Mozilla cookies? Where can I find it? Help, please. :(

Deleting Cookies

I just went to both sites, no problem. Hmmm...
Are you using something which deletes cookies after a time?
Maybe you need something like that, I use Cookie http://cookieapp.com/
Are you trying to log in or just view the site?
Ever run Onyx? http://www.titanium.free.fr/onyx.html
Use the version for your OS.

Does ONYX cleans cookies?? All of it or selected? One more question, Is it ok to deleted all cookies?
Thanks
Ron

Yes it does, among lots of other things. Most people use it once every couple of months, if that often. Normally only when there are problems.
Delete all cookies? Depends. If you have sites you never log out of, like Netflix, next time you go you'll have to log in again.
Doesn't hurt anything, just annoying sometimes.

I'm really quite suspicious of this "clean your cookies" message the OP is getting. I've been on the web since there was one to be on, and I've *never* seen a legitimate system message like that. Turn on cookies, yes. Clean them? With no explanation of how to do that? No.

Would love to see a screenshot of this warning.

He is saying it is possible you have picked up some walwre or adware and the messages are bogus. Download Malwarebytes for Mac from this link and run the scan function. I never bother cleaning cookies and both sites open at the click of a button.

Thanks for your help, harryb2448...I do have that software and checked, its fine. There is a reason for cleaning cookies because I cannot download one link and the tech asked me to clean cookies and try again, I wasn't sure to deleted all cookies or just Data...Thanks again
