Installation
Put CookieCruncher wherever you want on your hard drive and double click it to start it up. It will ask you for all necessary settings when you start it up for the first time. You can set CookieCruncher to start up every time you restart your Mac.
Quick-Start
It's pretty straightforward. After you adjusted the settings CookieCruncher will search your hard drives for “MagicCookie” files containing cookie information. Select one. (Normally the one in your active System Folder.) You will be presented with following dialog showing your active cookies by domain:
Click on a disclosure triangle to look at individual cookies. Alt-Click on a disclosure triangle expand all. Double click a cookie to edit it.

Push the Delete Button to delete all cookies of a domain (if you selected a domain row) or an individual cookie (if you selected a single cookie). Those cookies will be deleted every time you restart CookieCruncher.
Keep
Push the Keep Button to keep all cookies of a domain (if you selected a domain row) or an individual cookie (if you selected a single cookie). Those cookies will NOT be deleted the next time you restart CookieCruncher.
