Re: What's your cookies policy?

In chrome if you go to the wrench..options..under the hood..content setting.. tick Block sites from setting any data.
Log out of dslr..close the browser..come back to dslr..try to login..when you do..then go up to the small cookie icon click on it then click on manage cookie..you can allow the dslr cookie either as a session or just allow..if you do the session you will have to log in again each time you close your browser...if you just allow it..then even if you close your browser..then come back you will still be logged in.

That is why I initially set cookies to Block sites from setting any data. I can then control even persistent and session.
BTW I think even DSLR want to set TWO first party cookies. I allow only one. The two cookies dslr want to set are in a folder called "cookies" and their names are "dsl" and "bbruid"

Re: What's your cookies policy? [Chrome only]

To show you those cookies..and BTW DSLR really wants to set 4 cookies...look at this post by Dadkins and his screenshot..you will see the dsl and bbruid cookie.

»Re: 4 new cookies here?

Now the other two cookies they are talking about is for google analytics..I don't even worry about them since I block google analytics with my hosts file...so for me those cookies never even see the light of day at any site.

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.

Yes, indeed. That's the main problem.

If the option "Clear cookies" respected the list of exceptions you'd set:
+ 1. Allow local data to be set (recommended)
- 2. Block sites from setting any data
+ 3. Ignore exceptions and block third-party cookies from being set
+ 4. Clear cookies and other site data when I close my browser

Additionally, you specify a small subset of domains that you want to keep cookies for in the exceptions list (for example, for this site).

Then the browser would provide you with this secure way of handling cookies:
• allow session only cookies from all sites;
• allow permanent cookies only from the sites, I specify.
• block all third-party cookies without any exceptions

Again, the problem is - Chrome doesn't respect exceptions list if you set the option #4 'on'. One has to install a third party extension in order to achieve that...

BTW, it's easy to achieve even with IE7 (no any extensions required).

Re: What's your cookies policy? [Chrome only]

I don't use Chrome, but here is what I do with Firefox and cookies. First of all, any from known ad trackers are blocked via my hosts file, so no cookies can be written (except for those pesky flash ones). I also use SpywareBlaster, which has a setting to block cookies in Firefox.

Then any I don't want I remove periodically with CCleaner.

With my PC, for Chrome, I use a great Extension called Click&Clean. You can find it at »www.hotcleaner.com/

It will delete all of your cookies if you want to every time you close Chrome.

If you need a re-format, just ask and I'll do it. If you don't need one, just give me 5 minutes with your computer, and you will.

Within Chrome you can block all cookies. within that subsection you can allow certain session cookies for specific sites to be set that delete when you close your browser..or you can allow certain cookies for specific site all the time and make them permanent that will not delete when you close the browser.

That mean you alway block third party cookies..and for first party cookies..some are session only and some are permanent for specific sites.

Many cases I then do not even allow first party cookies much less third party.

Some sites don't not even need first party cookies to login much less navigate the site.

This is such a site »gladiator-antivirus.com/forum/

We don't use cookies at all..It's a security site.

What else would you want to do ?

Re: What's your cookies policy? [Chrome only]


Can too many cookies slow down your computer?

Cookies do not slow your computer down.

Too many cookies or temporary internet files might slow down a badly-written web browser (possibly some versions of Internet Explorer).

Accessing a cookie on a badly fragmented hard disk may also slow your web browser down (much like pulling a book from a bookshelf that is alphabetized versus finding a book in a pile of books).

But they CANNOT slow down the computer in general. Only your web browser ever looks at this data.

(Your computer might behave badly if it runs out of disk space. If you are out of disk space deleting temporary internet files might free some up. The cookies don't take up much space though.)

Too many cookies does slow my Chrome as I described. The drive isn't full and isn't fragmented. The browser can crash trying to load the list of cookies into the cookies page, when there are thousands of cookies. If it doesn't crash, it may take several minutes just to load the list.

This page chrome://settings/cookiesView
currently takes about 15 seconds to populate, and I only have 75 folders in the list.

Did you ever try this...

How to fix Resolving Host problem.

Step 1:
In Chrome, click the wrench icon, select "Options" then "Under the hood". Hit the button at the bottom that says "Reset to defaults".

Step 2:
On the same screen, make sure "Use DNS pre-fetching" is un-checked.

Step 3:
On the same screen, scroll down and press the button that says "Change proxy settings".

Step 4:
This assumes you are on broadband (with a pen and paper, write down your current settings so you can back them up if things go wrong). Click on "Lan Settings". Make sure "Automatically Detect Settings" is un-checked. Click "Ok".

Step 5:
Go to the Window XP/Vista Control Panel (Start, Settings, Control Panel). Load up the "Network Connections".

Step 6:
You will now see a list of the network cards and bridges on your computer. Only one of these is used by your computer to connect to the internet. For example, if you are using wireless internet you will only be using the wireless connection. Right click on each other connection and select "disable". You should only have one enabled connection.

Step 7:
Restart your machine. Turn it off and on again. This is a very important step.

Step 8:
Google Chrome will now be working fully. If not, then clear your history and cache and restart the browser.

Then I guess you better choose the radio "Block sites from setting any data" instead of "Allow local data to be set (recommended)". What you see is the result of accumulating cookies form all sites you have ever visited. And look at option "Clear cookies and other site data when I close my browser". That could limit the amount of collected cookies as well.

I've had something like what Koam is describing happen in some builds of Chromium, but never in the stable version of Google Chrome. When it does happen, none of the chromium tabs (settings, cookies list, etc) will work; they just seem to be loading forever. A fresh install of a newer build seems to have fixed it.
