Ratings and Reviews
Please release Mac OS version
The app does exactly what it says,
dear developer; please release the Mac OS version too.

Developer Response ,
Thank you for the feedback
Privacy no-go
This app claims that no data is collected, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. The privacy policy linked below says:
“ Cookie Blocker does not collect anything. Cookie Blocker does not send any data from or to your device. All functionality is performed on your device. There are no analytics.”
Apple’s app privacy report shows that the app is contacting 4 internet addresses. Two are Apple metrics related, one is an ocsp certificate check and the last is the developer web site.
It seems like a mistake to give an extension full access to all websites that you visit when it is violating its own privacy policy so blatantly.
The cookie deleting does appear to work as described, so kudos for that, I guess.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for the feedback. I agree that Cookie blocker privacy statement and Apples privacy report doesn't align.
The only reason why Cookie blocker needs to access sufiyanyasa.com is to access this page https://sufiyanyasa.com/resource/cookies.json
The above page is a static resource file contains names of secure cookies. Secure cookies are invisible in Safari and I would manually add them here after investigation.
In coming release, I would add two improvements:
1. A switch to turn off secure cookie name downloading feature
2. Better aligned policy statement about Apple's Privacy report
Thank you for highlighting this to me and apologies on the delay.
