What this utility does
Cookie is a Mac-only utility focused on strengthening online privacy by preventing trackers and reducing profiling. Offered at no cost, it blocks many types of tracking cookies and gives you control over what remains in your browser, helping limit unwanted data collection and lower your digital footprint.
Key advantages

Interface and user controls
The app presents a compact, easy-to-navigate interface that places cookie controls within quick reach. From a single panel you can inspect stored cookies, erase ones you don’t want, or block particular trackers entirely — tailoring how much information each site can keep. These options make it straightforward to balance convenience and privacy while you browse.
