Re: AdSubtract Test I also thought that Cookie Wall PUTS the cookies first and then asks you (with the interval you set it to) if you want to delete it.

| Yes, that is correct. CookieWall lets "temporary" cookies be written into the /Cookies folder. It keeps a list of these cookies and it asks you on reboot if you STILL want to keep these. You must decide to: a) defer the decision until later, b) Always Accept this cookie, c) Always Delete this cookie.
There is a flaw in that if you choose "Always Delete" on reboot, the cookie is added to the Always Delete list -- however (and this is a BIG however), it DOES NOT remove the pre-existing 'temporary' cookie from your /Cookie folder!!
This is a glitch, but if you are aware of it, it is not a 'program killer'. Cookie Wall is not perfect, but it has some very good points and it is free...

Brooklyn, NY | I've tried it, but I was not happy with it. The very least, I found the pop up questions very annoying.

kudos:1 | If you don't want cookies or cookie warning pop-ups, then you should disable all cookies in the Internet Zone and only accept them in your Trusted Sites.
I have another reason for liking the way CookieWall works. If you select "Always Delete", it keeps a list for you of all the sites that tried to dump a cookie on you. I go through that list intermittently and add some of those sites to my Hosts file... |

That is EXACTLY what I am doing since I only have about 6 sites that I allow the cookies.
However, don't forget I test a lot.

Ok R2, if you mention HOSTS file just one more time, just ONE more time, BANG ZOOM! 
On a serious side, I am not, never was, but HOPE to be a fan of HOSTS file. There are many reasons why I dislike the whole idea of HOSTS but that's for another thread.

LOL!
Don't get me wrong, HOSTS IS a great solution for many people, just not for me.
