SeaMonkey browser has a highly developed cookie management system. And this is a good thing. Why…

• For sites that require a cookie to work use “session cookies”.
• For sites that will display content without cookies enabled, use the default setting “block cookies”. Added bonus is that your browser cookie cache will shrink, too.
• For sites that won’t work without cookies (see below) switch to “accept cookies for this site” on site by site basis.

I block all cookies by default. Then when a site needs one I switch my preference for given site through the menu Tools :: Cookie Manager. Once in a while I view all my stored cookies, click the checkmark next to “prevent removed site to set a cookie in future” and delete.

…and then there was doubleclick that is .. I meant to say google that is .. I meant to say gmail and all our efforts went down the drain. But that’s another story.
