Description Eugene But 2015-01-07 12:51:10 PST 
Summary:
There is apparently no way to clear the cookies used by WKWebView. This is a significant problem if trying to implement anything like a browser, since being able to clear cookies is a critical user privacy feature.

Note that this is distinct from bug 140191 in that if it's impractical to have full cookie management for WKWebView, at the very least a way of clearing cookies is necessary, and would presumably be easier to implement (since it doesn't require a return value, or have cross-process synchronization issues).

Steps to Reproduce:
N/A

Expected Results:
An API on one of the WKWebView-related class allowing clearing cookies.

Actual Results:
No apparent way to clear cookies
