Font Size and Cookie Removal Issues

[Herman Hamm]

Hi everybody
I run High Sierra 10.13.2 with Safari 11.0.2. Almost everyday I find myself zooming in several times in the 'View' to increase the size of the image on the iMac monitor. It does not seem to hold for long. Sometimes it might last more than a day - but it might not.
does anyooe here in the forum have any idea how to make the size selected stay permanently?

As for Cookies - everyday I try to clear cookies out of Safari from the Preferences section. It seems there are a few that just will not be removed. They disappear for a second or two and then reappear. Is this something one just lives with?

Appreciate all comments and suggestions
Herm

Change font sizes in Safari by clicking on the large 'A' next to the home icon.

See if this information helps:-

To change the font size you can press "Command +" and "Command -" as desired and it seems to hold that setting without constantly zooming either the text or the window. On the small keyboard you will also have to hold the shift key as the + and - require that.

Thank you both - nambuccaheadsau and hfg - for your responses. Have done the control plus already and will see how that works. On the removel of cookies, the link offered is exactly what I do in the preferences - privacy area. However, for some reason, CERTAIN cookies simply do not respond to the command to remove them. I wonder if they could have something encoded in them to resist Safari's attempt to delete them? Both of you - please know I appreciate your help and rely on the experts here in the forum all the time. Herm

For these little anomalies, I do an erase and install for each and every system upgrade. Things seem to work much better with a clean install over than the simple update.
