Re: IE6 and Cookies I suppose high might work, but I blew off the premade settings altogether and clicked privacy tab/advanced/override and then block/block.
Seems as if only sites in my trusted zone can put cookies on my system, just as with ie5.5. I still don't know why though since there are no cookie settings in the zones, but it does work.

| Looks like any site in your trusted zone can bypass the cookie filter 
Although outside sites not in the trusted zone are subject to the cookie filter?
I need to do more tests on this... This is undocumented stuff here, and its not working like it said it would. |

That's about how it looks to me.
I don't have a problem with sites in my trusted zone bypassing the cookie filter. That's how I'd want it.
Like I said, though, in the first post, there is a place in the privacy/cookie tab to add sites to bypass the cookie filter, but you don't need to put the sites there if they are in your trusted zone.
I don't know if it's a bug or a feature, but it seems to do what I want.
I didn't like having to add the sites in the privacy tab because you can only add a top level domain there and maybe times, I don't want to give the whole domain cookie access.
Post your findings when you know more as well....you too R2, when you get some time. |

| Here's what i've proven:
Sites in the Trusted Zone are permitted by default
Sites in the Restricted Zone are always blocked by default
Sites in the Interent Zone are subject to the Cookie filter
If you add a trusted site to the block list, it will be blocked. If you add a restricted site to the allow list, it will get through.

I found this in the IE6 help file that helps explain this (and it confirms what your testing showed):
"Your privacy settings only affect Web sites in the Internet zone."

| More info I just got this box. And here is more info (from the Help files):
Internet Explorer allows the use of cookies; however, you can change your privacy settings to specify that Internet Explorer prompt you before placing a cookie on your computer (this enables you to allow or block the cookie); or you can prevent Internet Explorer from accepting any cookies.
You can use the Internet Explorer privacy settings to specify how you want Internet Explorer to handle cookies from individual Web sites or all Web sites. You can also customize your privacy settings by importing a file containing custom privacy settings, or by specifying custom privacy settings for all Web sites or individual Web sites.
Privacy settings only apply to Web sites in the Internet zone.
There are four zones:- Internet zone: By default, this zone contains anything that is not on your computer or an intranet, or assigned to any other zone. The default security level for the Internet zone is Medium. You can change your privacy settings for the Internet zone on the Privacy tab in Internet Options. For more information, click Related Topics.
- Local intranet zone: This zone typically contains any addresses that don't require a proxy server, as defined by the system administrator. These include sites specified on the Connections tab, network paths (such as \\computername\foldername), and local intranet sites (typically addresses that don't contain periods, such as »internal). You can add sites to this zone. The default security level for the Local intranet zone is Medium, therefore, Internet Explorer will allow all cookies from Web sites in this zone to be saved on your computer and read by the Web site that created them.
- Trusted sites zone: This zone contains sites you trust—sites that you believe you can download or run files from without worrying about damage to your computer or data. You can assign sites to this zone. The default security level for the Trusted sites zone is Low, therefore, Internet Explorer will allow all cookies from Web sites in this zone to be saved on your computer and read by the Web site that created them.
- Restricted sites zone: This zone contains sites you don't trust—sites that you're not sure whether you can download or run files from without damage to your computer or data. You can assign sites to this zone. The default security level for the Restricted sites zone is High, therefore, Internet Explorer will block all cookies from Web sites in this zone.
In addition, any files already on your local computer are assumed to be very safe, so minimal security settings are assigned to them. You cannot assign a folder or drive on your computer to a security zone.
