Is there free software available that will block cookies?
I had a program a few months ago that would ask me if I
wanted to allow a cookie to be placed on my computer but
it appears to have disappeared.
 
Hi Bob - Just an FYI that you may be interested in about a more
sophisticated approach to cookie control.

XML-Menu for IE6 - (http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~ehowes/main.htm, click on IE6
Tools on website) "This package contains a full menu of custom Import XML
files that can be used to manipulate IE6's handling of cookies in the
Internet and Trusted zones (the Privacy tab controls only the Internet
zone). The files are divided into three sets: one "short list" of
recommended files, and two "advanced" lists containing a wide range of
possible Privacy configurations. The ReadMe covers the basics of using
custom XML Import files and details all the files that are available. A
..REG file that can be used to restore the default Privacy tab settings is
included."

(I use 1-e, BTW, and have for several years, and I just don't have any
problems. I do occasionally have to override it for some sites that I need
to go to that don't have a Privacy Policy)

Also, Eric Howes site, above, is one of the very best on the Web for all
matters relating to security. Highly Recommended.
