Hi stephenhjj2,


Here is a step-by-step guide to clearing those cookies!


  1. Open Safari
  2. Close all the tabs that are open: Save any you need later on.
  3. Press Command + ,
  4. Click Privacy on the top bar
  5. Click "Manage Website Data..." beside Website Data:


You should see this the following:


Once you got to the menu:

  1. Search the two sites
  2. Click remove


⚠️ This is recommended step will delete all the cookies and you may need to relogin into sites: I recommend deleting all the cookies as often sites use numerous sites for cookies. So you may want to try Remove All option.


Hope this solved your problem :)
