Cookie DNT gives you per-site control over cookies in Safari — block, clear, and manage tracking cookies automatically, on exactly the sites you choose. Safari's built-in cookie settings are all-or-nothing. Cookie DNT fills the gap: install it as a Safari extension and decide per site whether cookies get stored or wiped. You stay in control without thinking about it. HOW IT WORKS Cookie DNT runs entirely on your device. When you visit a site, the extension checks your rules and automatically clears cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, and IndexedDB. No data is sent to any server. No account. No subscription. A note on the permission prompt: Safari requires all extensions to request access to websites in order to function — this is Apple's standard requirement, not specific to Cookie DNT. The dialog that says "can access browsing history" is Apple's generic wording for this permission; it simply means the extension can see which site you're on so it can apply your rules. Nothing leaves your device. You can verify this yourself: check Settings → Privacy & Security → App Privacy Report and you will find zero outbound connections from Cookie DNT, unless you opt into the optional cookie blocklist described below. TWO BLOCKING MODES Selective mode — the default. Cookies are allowed everywhere until you decide otherwise. Toggle individual sites on or off directly from the extension menu as you browse. Use this if you want targeted cookie clearing without affecting your general browsing. Block All mode — cookies are blocked everywhere by default. Add trusted sites to your whitelist to allow cookies only where you need them. This is the strongest setting and works well for users who want automatic cookie deletion across the web with minimal ongoing management. FEATURES - Blocks and auto-deletes cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, and IndexedDB per site - Selective mode or Block All mode with whitelist support - Configurable clear timer — wipe cookies after a delay or instantly on tab close - iCloud sync — your site list and settings follow you across iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Automatically clears cookie consent data and tracking cookies - Optional cookie blocklist — enable in Settings to apply a developer-curated list of known tracking cookie names - No account required, no subscription, no data collection PRIVACY Cookie DNT collects nothing. All processing happens on your device. The app has no server and sends no analytics. If you enable the optional cookie blocklist in Settings, the app makes one outbound request to download the list. No personal data is included — it is a plain file download. This feature is off by default. LIMITATION HTTPOnly cookies cannot be deleted by Safari extensions. This is a Safari security restriction that applies to all third-party extensions, not specific to Cookie DNT.
