Cookie is a macOS privacy utility from SweetP Productions that helps manage and remove browser cookies and other website data across many browsers.
What is Cookie?
Cookie is a browser privacy management app for macOS published by SweetP Productions, Inc. Its main purpose is to monitor and remove cookies and other website data that browsers store locally, while letting you keep selected items you trust or need for logins and site preferences. The app is designed to work with many Mac browsers rather than only one, and it supports both automatic cleanup and more customized rules. Cookie may need elevated privacy permissions such as Full Disk Access to inspect and clear data from browsers like Safari. Users typically encounter it when they want more control over tracking data, browsing leftovers, and website storage than built-in browser settings provide. It is a legitimate commercial utility, but because it can access browser data and automate removal, its settings should be reviewed carefully to avoid deleting information you intended to keep.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Cookie appears to be a legitimate privacy utility from SweetP Productions. It is not known as malware, but it handles sensitive browser data and may request Full Disk Access on macOS so it can read and remove website data from supported browsers. Misconfiguration can remove saved site data, favorites, or login-related information you wanted to retain.
Recommendation: Keep it if you intentionally use it to manage browser privacy and website data. If you do not recognize it or no longer use its cleanup features, removing it is usually reasonable after confirming you do not rely on its saved rules, browser exceptions, or automatic cleanup behavior.
