Can you whitelist cookies on Mac?

CCleaner for Mac
1

I have used ccleaner for windows since it was called crap cleaner.

Looking to use it on Mac, but as it’s a different system I wondered;

Can you whitelist cookies on browsers such as chrome or brave that you do not want to delete on ccleaner for Mac like you can in ccleaner for windows?

Or is this not a thing on the Mac version?

The Mac version is very unreliable. I suggest you not use the Cookies cleaner section at all. I go into the Safari Settings > Privacy > Website Data > Manage Website Data and manually delete cookies there. I don’t know if Chrome or Brave have anything similar. Others here have said that CCleaner has deleted all their cookies regardless of what was selected. I strongly suggest you not pay for the app – stick with the free version and do not delete cookies using it.

Thanks for the reply.

But does ccleaner let you whitelist cookies though for chrome/brave?
Even if you don’t recommend it, I would still love to know if it does what I need.

I won’t be using safari at all.
I use a chromium browser for multiple reasons so won’t be using safari.

Thanks again.

To my knowledge, there is no way to whitelist cookies. That was one of the nicest features of the Windows version.

thats a shame
it really is a great feature in the windows version!

thanks so much for replying!

The Mac version has a “Cookie Allowlist” but as suggested above it works most of the time, but sometimes not. I do a scan and clean every Saturday, and it has been working fine until today, when it wiped out all of my browser cookies, and I had to spend an hour re-signing in to all the websites it blew away. I’m thinking that I’ll only clean cookies every four weeks or so until CCleaner fixes this bug.
