Delete cookies for specific site on Safari

Here is a simple workflow that uses UI Applescripting (thanks to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4011487?start=0&tstart=0 ) to delete cookies for a single website in Safari:

I need to do this a lot when switching on VPN after a Google Scholar search....hopefully others will find it useful.

For Safari 10 you need to change the AppleScript so that "Details..." reads "Manage Website Data…"

 

Here's the full script:

 

set theWebsite to "{query}"
tell application "Safari" to activate
delay 2
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Safari"
	keystroke "," using command down
	delay 2
	tell window 1
		click button "Privacy" of tool bar 1
		delay 5
		click button "Manage Website Data…" of group 1 of group 1
		delay 2
		keystroke theWebsite
		delay 1
		keystroke tab
		delay 1
		keystroke "a" using command down
		click button "Remove" of sheet 1
		click button "Done" of sheet 1
	end tell
	keystroke "w" using command down
end tell
