Here is a step-by-step guide to help you delete cookies on your Safari browser. Deleting cookies is simple: go to the browser settings menu, find out where they are and select the delete option.

Step 1. Select "Preferences" from the main Safari preferences menu

Step 2. Under the "Security" tab, select "Show Cookies"

Step 2. Under the "Privacy" panel, select "Details"

This will display different data. Please note that Safari 5.1 has changed the display of this menu to be more "human", but less detailed than in previous versions, which means you no longer have the option to delete cookies for a specific site only.

    It is in Developer menuthat you just connected. Step 4. Under the "Resources" panel, expand the "Cookies" menu.
