Once I put a cookie / site in the Banned Cookie Jar, does that prevent those sites from putting cookies on my system in the future?
You could try out the public preview of IE6 (full product to be released soon).
It has some pretty good cookie functions, such as...
1) When it comes across a cookie, it will flag it up, and you can accept it or reject it.
You can do this on a 'per cookie' basis, or block all from the domain/site sending you the cookie.
Any you create rules for (allow or block) will not bother you again and will be allowed/rejected based on your rule
2) Ability to Accept/Block/Prompt for cookies
3) Ability to Accept/Block/Prompt for cookies for 3rd party sites
4) Ability to always allow Session cookies
I tend to use the over-ride and prompt for 1st party cookies, block 3rd party cookies.
Then, I can allow or reject any 1st party cookies coming from the site, and all 3rd party cookies will automatically be blocked.
Seems to work pretty well. |

I had thought about that, but I tend to hold off on any new Microsoft updates until they release the first SP to fix all the bugs. I still haven't upgraded to IE 5.5. Have you had good luck with IE 6?

| Y'know, I agree with your way of thinking.
I too, usually wait for the full product to come out, but I had read and heard good things about IE6.
I've been using it since the beta became available, and I have not had a single issue with it so far. The latest build (the one available as Public Preview from the MS site) seems very robust... so in all fairness, I would say it's their best browser yet.
I understand why you usually hold off though  |
