6. And then exit out of this box

7. Next, click on the Develop menu

10. Select “Preferences”

11. And click on the Privacy tab

12. You can choose to block cookies completely, or to block only

13. In addition, Safari offers many Add-ons to protect user privacy.
Here are some of the most popular Add-ons, which you can
download straight from their websites.
• Ghostery blocks the invisible tracking cookies and plug-ins on many web
sites, shows it all to you, and then gives you the choice whether you want to
block them one-by-one, or all together.
• Adblock Plus stops social networking sites from transmitting data about
you after you leave those sites, even if the page you visit has a social plugin
on it.
• Do Not Track Plus is the Do Not Track app that sends a request to
websites not to track you, with a “plus” of also stopping third-party data
exchanges. So, when you visit a site with Facebook, Twitter and Google+
buttons on it, your browser will tell the network that you're on a site with
those buttons, and no information will be sent until you choose to click one.

14. Finally, if you aren’t sure whether to accept
cookies from a website, read their privacy
policy and find out what they do with the
