Re: What's your cookies policy? 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

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).
