Has anyone tried to use Hazel to delete or otherwise manage browser cookies? For example, could you use Hazel to delete cookies from a particular site (e.g. Facebook) on a regular schedule for privacy reasons?

Just wondering...

Most cookies are managed by the browser and I would recommend against having Hazel manipulate those directly. This is assuming that the cookies are stored as individual files in the filesystem, which may not be the case. I suggest instead looking for some sort of browser extension that does this from within the browser, if possible.

I've noticed a few cookie managers on MacUpdate, some with harsh comments, but have never used one so am unqualified to make a specific suggestion.

Thanks. I use Ghostery and AdBlock but sometimes I find they don't delete cookies promptly.
