1 edit | What's your cookies policy? [Chrome only] I mostly use Chrome in Windows and accessing the cookies page, it can take a minute or 2 to load all the cookies
chrome://settings/cookiesView
...even though I Removed All cookies a couple of days ago.
Is it recommended to remove all cookies with some regularity? I sort of hate having to re-login to all the sites that would allow me to stay in w/ cookies (dslr, hotmail, facebook, etc.)
How do you handle this?

1 edit | Re: What's your cookies policy? I accept all cookies for the current session only (and close my browser at least daily), and whitelist ones that I want to keep longer (banks, etc). With Firefox this is easy, with Chrome I ended up using the Vanilla extension.
Edit: And block all third-party cookies in all browsers.

Like Cabal said, I whitelist certain cookies and clear the rest out daily using CCleaner. Add to that, some I don't accept at all.
But I'm a Firefox user, so I'm not sure how you'd do that in Chrome, sorry. You might check to see what addons are available - |

I accept first party cookies, I block third party cookies, and I allow session cookies. I tend to close my browser whenever I'm not immediately using it. I also close and reopen it after doing any kind of financial transactions. I don't use inline autocomplete, and I keep only one day's history.
I periodically use CCleaner to clear out the cookies I don't want remaining on my computer.
I also use a fingerprint scanning program that will store my login info, so if I accidentally delete a cookie that I should have kept, I can log in without looking up the info.
(EDIT: Please note that this response was to the original title of this thread, "What's your cookies policy?" before the Chrome limitation was added.    ) |

Thanks. On Chrome they seem to bundle two issues into one checkbox
"___Ignore exceptions and block third-party cookies from being set"
I take it that I want to block third-party cookies, clear all cookies when closing Chrome, and have an Exceptions list that's used so that I it keeps cookies for sites that I want to stay logged into after closing the browser.
So I'm confused that they have bundled together blocking 3rd-party with ignoring the exceptions.

| I don't us Chrome but a quick search »news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-20024815-68.html is worth a look ?
With Firefox I use TMN »trackmenot.org/
»www.ghostery.com/download is a keeper for most browsers.

If you go to this page..and click on all the "+" symbols and read how to control all types of cookies so many different ways with Chrome... you might come up with a personal plan that will make you happy.

I allow all cookies, BUT I run scanners and cleaners (SuperAntiSpyware, SpyBot S&D, etc.) to wipe out bad cookies. I also use the latest AdBlock Plus and several filter subscriptions to block third party tracking cookie servers: »fanboy-adblock-list.googlecode.c···tats.txt ...
In IE6 (rarely used), I just delete all cookies manually.

If you really did read that link I posted then I will tell you what I do..
I use chrome...I block all cookies (Block sites from setting any data)..that gives me a small cookie icon in the top right of the browser for all sites..when I hit a site that will not let me log in without cookies or do something I want to do..I click on that Cookie Icon and it tells me what types cookies they want..Many sites want to set multiple cookies..I allow then only the cookie that lets me log in and no others. and the one I need I set to allow to be set but only as session cookies. Thats it. Never then have to do it again for those sites..and they are few and far between.

The most important thing for me is to insist on only dark chocolate chips, preferably minis! Otherwise, I accept first party cookies, I block third party cookies, and I allow session cookies. I run CCleaner nightly and also have a program that has my info lest I should forget my login. |

I did read all the help at Google. I don't see how it answers my question:
Thanks. On Chrome they seem to bundle two issues into one checkbox
"___Ignore exceptions and block third-party cookies from being set"
I take it that I want to block third-party cookies, clear all cookies when closing Chrome, and have an Exceptions list that's used so that I it keeps cookies for sites that I want to stay logged into after closing the browser.
So I'm confused that they have bundled together blocking 3rd-party with ignoring the exceptions.
Also confusing is that the help describes, in quotes, a setting that doesn't exist (I can't find it) but may be a paraphrasing of another setting:
If you only want to accept first-party cookies, select the "Block all third-party cookies without exception" checkbox.
I'd want to block 3rd-party cookies and also have an exceptions list for sites that I want to allow cookies to remain after closing browser.

I don't think you can do this without an extension (like Vanilla). The problem isn't the third-party setting, it's that the clear-all-cookies-on-exit setting doesn't respect your "Allow" exceptions (unlike Firefox, which keeps them around). That's why I use Vanilla.

I'd want to block 3rd-party cookies and also have an exceptions list for sites that I want to allow cookies to remain after closing browser. Google just started with the nasty tracking people through cookies policy. I was using Iron which is Chrome with all the privacy tracking crap that Google adds (Google created Chrome for one reason only...so they could track folks) removed. But starting, I believe it was, around December 2010 Google removed the ESSENTIAL cookie setting that all other major browsers have (except for Safari which also was created mostly to track people). The setting that was removed recently from Chrome is Ask Me and that is why you can't have exceptions (white list) and also block all third party cookies. . Use another browser. I left Iron over this issue and so did a lot of other iron users. Iron is a joke anyway because the author says he can't add the Ask Me cookie feature back which makes one realize that Iron is not much of a browser if he can't even do that to make a more privacy conscious browser.
Use Firefox, SeaMonkey, Opera or even IE as they all have Ask Me as an option for cookies. Even if there is a Google extension that gives you back the Ask Me cookie feature Google removed recently don't use it! No Google extension is privacy safe! Don't use Google. Opera is just as fast and has a TON more features. Plus, once you really get into Opera you are totally spoiled because it is so extremely configurable (you could spend years and still not know all about how you can configure it) you find greatly stripped down browsers like Chrome unpalatable simply because you cannot personalize them much. You even find Firefox simplistic after using Opera for a good period of time. (This is not to say Opera is perfect as it has problems and some settings are not easy to change and the new tab stacking doesn't work too well and, totally uncharacteristically for Opera, you cannot turn it off. That will change though in a future version. Opera's Persistent Storage (which is going to replace cookies as sites move to persistent storage instead) is hard to turn off totally but it is a new feature in Opera so it will get refined in upcoming versions).
IE has the cookie function you want under Advanced option for cookies (not the slider) but according to Steve Gibson IE 9 is even worse than earlier versions as it is completely incapable of giving you privacy cookie wise no matter how you configure it.

In other words..if you close your browser..and were already logged into lets say DSLR and did not log out..you would want to open the browser..go to the link and still be logged in ?

And you want then only to keep persistent cookies.
Ya know there are session cookies..persistent cookies..first party cookies and third party cookies.. so you want to set first party persistent cookie only..right...see here
