How do you disable individual cookies...

[Mike_Amiga]

...I can't see any obvious buttons in the preferences of Explorer 5.1 (mac). They all obviously default to enabled, but surely there must be a way to turn off ones that have "Ad" in their names? :-?

PS: all I get when I search the web or help files, is how to disable ALL cookies, this is not the information I am after. :-(

The best way, for me anyway, is to find the cookie drawer in windows and make a short-cut on to the desktop...

when i surf , i look into this and can easily see which cookies that have been planted.
normally i delete them all, but i suppose it`s (a case of why keep them at all) easy to delete just one.

I'm trying out Safari as I write this. It has a weird way of rendering pages - it works but it looks ultra freaky (and slow) when loading pages in.

I should have an option in this browser somewhere to stop all those nasty cookies but I'm not making it my default browser just yet.

I'd have though somebody would have programmed a browser with this option by now. :-?

I only tend to go to a couple of sites, 1 here, 2 my email place that has annoying pop-up ads. If I could control them individually I could kill the pop-ups and still use my email.:pint:

Of course I tend to delete my cookies if I go off on a gonzo mission and wander the webernet cos I'd have a bit more trouble sifting thru them. But generally I go very few places... Oh hang on, thats not really true is it cos I click on links with humour or interesting content posted by other members of "The Org." :-o

Hehe,
I'm typing this out in ibrowse2.3...
And i'v just downloaded mozilla 1.2.1...11 mb download...very nice and fast for my pc...except that it doesn't display corectly some sites...oh well back to IE...

Perhaps KDE Konqueror (the word on the street is it's really good...)?

Most of all the browsers atleast have some sort of plug-in to manage cookies...
