Removing tracking cookies

I use Firefox, as its lwss peone to virsues also I find and have seen reports that Firefox is the fastest broswer,

It might be less prone to viruses, and it might be faster, but if you visit the same sites with IE and Firefox both end with exactly the same cookies! No difference at all.

In fact, I find it easier to delete old IE-cookies than old Firefox-cookies. So for that, I definitely prefer IE.

We all do have are favvorites and because likes 1 better it doesn't mean another will. I feel to each their own.

I completly forgot as I hadn't had tracking cookies on a computer in years how to remove them, but then again it was the 1st time in years I installed Yahoo messanger that placed them all.
Fred

How is it possible not to have tracking cookies for years? Did you configure Internet Option by putting a check beside "Override automatic cookie handling" and block third party cookies options?

Every time I close my IE 6 browser, I manually delete all cookies except three which are from websites I use often. I delete using Internet Options' "General Tab"........sometimes I delete in Explore Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files.

On my older computer that I got rid of I had it set to remove all cookies when closing Firefox. On this computer it wasn't set and also on the older computer I didn't use Yahoo Messenger,

All users have their method in dealing with cookies so here is mine using Firefox 3.0.3:

Under Tools>Options>Privacy, I have selected "Accept cookies from sites" and Keep Until "I close Firefox". At the end of the day or when Firefox is closed all cookies are removed.

Exceptions to this can be made under the "Exception" button and keep those desired such as sites routinely frequented that requires cookies. I have limited those to such places as CNet where automatic login is desired. That is the only exception allowed by me and is done as a matter of convenience.

This is my personal preference... am sure others have theirs.

Hope this helps in clarifying the issue a bit.

coming for you I take that as a compliment.

Those settings have worked well for me and problem free.

Glenn

It seems like maybe you didn't read it? Or if you did, is everything fine no?

Hope this helps.
