#Cookies on macbook pro windows

At some point I had a cookie for which did not go away, not even when I completely reset Safari, not even when Safari had no windows open and Private Browing was turned on. I tried from a Guest user and noticed that just starting Safari which opened a standard Apple page added a cookie for (Facebook) and. Hence, I would always want to know where the data is really stored so I can wipe it instead of unlinking it. Suppose you are under a dictatorship and you want to remove traces you have visited some opposition site, I would not trust 'Private Browsing' against good forensic snooping and I would only trust the removal of data if it is also wiped (not just unlinked)). And then there are the plugins that may or may not respect the 'private browsing' settings. I wonder how 'private' 'Private Browsing' really is, and I suspect the cookies are stored anyway, they are just outside of reach of the Safari processes that may need/use them. What I did find out that the whole cookie process is now managed via a daemon (cookied) which apparaently keeps its own data somewhere in the general systems area. I just did not explicitly mentioned ~/ because for me that is default (if you start from your home directory, Library and ~/Library are the same). No, I was talking about the user's Library (~/Library) and not the general Library (full path /Library).
