    Cant Clear Website Data

    So when i go into Safari>preferences>privacy and then manage website data, i go to remove all the data and it just comes right back. How do I get all of this gone? I have "allow from current website only" enabled. Confused as to why these cookies keep coming back seconds after I clear everything.
