Can anybody explain what's up with that, i.e. from where is "Privacy" picking those items up, and are they functional?

Stuff?

How about some concrete examples of stuff?

Note: i don't know why Apple displays cached items within the cookie list (i think it's dumb to treat users like dummies). They should put tabs there to segregate cookies from all that “other website data” : local storage, cache and those so-called plug-in items (from your other thread). But i suggest emptying the cache (⌘⌥E) before even looking at that list.


BTW (just a guess, but), maybe locking that Cache.db file forces Safari to use more RAM.
