See my post in the Computer Help Forum, where to also posted this. I suggest you reread the tutorial in Spybot.

With Spybot you can choose which cookies you want to save. In the advanced mode, under Settings there is a choice called Ignore Cookies. It will bring a list of all cookies on your PC. Put a check mark next to a Cookie that you want to save. Then when you use Spybot's Search & Destroy it will save the chosen cookies. this feature only works within Spybot. If you delete all cookies some other way they will not be saved. So I only manage cookies using Spybot. Cookies to keep are for sites you visit often. The cookie could have sign in info that will remember you. If leaving personal info on a PC is something you don't want, then you need to be careful with cookies.
