What users say about Cookie
Ease of use: 4.0
Nothing's perfect, and sometimes it can be confusing to manage how cookies are handled between different browsers, but that's more the nature of the beast. It doesn't help that macOS gets in the way with its security, but that's not a BAD thing, Cookie does walk you through dealing with it.
Reliability: 1.0
Right now, it's very unreliable. Cookie is randomly deleting cookies from favorite websites that it should NEVER be deleting automatically and has long been set to not do so. This behavior just started a few months ago, and to be clear... I've been a paid user of Cookie for perhaps 8-10 years now and more importantly, have touted this app in forums I'm involved in, so I very much understand how to use it.

Version: 8.3
There's a BUG in v8.3 that appears immediately after it's installed. The "new popover with explaining different cookie colors with shortcuts to useful functions" is permanently STUCK on your screen above everything else. It has no way to dismiss it. -> I've reported the bug to the dev. -> Workaround: Quit Cookie. Reboot Cookie. The offending popover is gone.

Version: 8.1.1
This great app is available for purchase on their website, but is only available by subscription on the App Store. The purchase is $5 more, but there is a $10 discount for those who upgrade. It's easiest to follow the instructions in the Setting for Cookie. This is the third version I've purchased, but I was thinking of going without if a subscription were my only option. I'm so glad they made this available.
