It’s actually irritating to should one after the other delete tons of of cookies/caches from web sites I’ve by no means visited. (Would that Apple would permit us to dam third-party cookies).
Is there an API that might permit me to construct my very own app in Xcode to deal with it in a greater means? Or one thing like Cookie 6 (macOS) for iOS? Or another person’s open supply that I can compile?
I’m not prepared to jailbreak, nor to put in one thing with supply code not vetted by me or Apple.
For instance, clearing all web site information after which logging in to Fb.com provides 5 third-party cookies. Three of them are from domains owned by Fb, however don’t finish in Fb.com. The opposite two are clearly from promoting companies.
This is the reason I take advantage of DuckDuckGo for nearly all the pieces, and Safari solely sometimes. DuckDuckGo lets me clear all the pieces after a session. I take advantage of Safari for just a few domains the place I’d prefer to hold their cookies solely, however the price of that’s consumption of cupboard space that doesn’t profit me and prevents syncing all of the music I’d like.
The cookies are much less irritating than the consumption of restricted cupboard space. But when third-party cookies are accepted, cross-site monitoring is implied. Since I cleared all web site information (just lately), I’ve not visited any web site with “math” within the identify. Solely Fb, UniGen.us, and three SE subdomains. But I’ve a cookie from mathoverflow.com And Safari says it’s measurement is zero bytes. Clearly, it’s no less than one byte. However extra of a problem are the megabytes of third-party native storage leading to updates and Music syncs failing for inadequate area.
