How to save cookies that come from banks and credit card companies

[stevemalee]

I have read the threads here regarding problems logging on to banks that say
"you must have cookies enabled" and the threads re: these bank pages make you
answer a long list of questions each time you log on is their cookie has been
deleted.

This problem is a problem of the "secure" cookies going to the temporary
internet file by default.

Setting the "cookie over ride" does not work because the cookie
automatically goes to the temporary file.

It is simply not reasonable to leave the temporary internet file always full
-- need to delete it from time to time.

I also use CCleaner and even though the cookies are put in that programs
"save" section, it still goes to the temporary file. And the trusted zone
idea doesn't work either.

I did try a program you recommended that puts the cookies in a separate
section, but this does not bring in all the cookies to the program, and you
cannot copy and paste.

This problem is getting worse and worse since so many banks are beefing up
their security.

Any new ideas?

Thanks

Personally - I would prefer it to ask me the questions it needs to every
time. That extra 10 seconds to answer a question that helps protect my
data/money/etc is not ruining my life.

I have several different accounts and the ones with these questions have you
answer one - maybe two at most at each logon (the majority being one.) The
questions are usually easy to answer and although I might think for a split
second, "that's annoying" I get over it by the time I have clicked on a
single transaction or started doing what i intended to do.

Use Firefox and the add-on "CookieCuller". An elegant solution. Once you load the important cookies, you
protect them.
Just make sure no other "cleaning" app is slated to touch your cookies after that.
