I believe this is what the folks at Netscape tried to eliminate in 4.0, which I'm told features four cookie settings. One rejects "third party cookies."

Well, I'm using version 4.01a for NT. There are three settings for cookies: 1. Accept all cookies. 2. Accept only cookies which get sent back to the originating server. 3. Disable cookies. There's also a checkbox labled: "Warn me for accepting a cookie." I've been fairly unhappy with this version - the cookie management and the "Personal Toolbar" (user specified buttons for frequently visited sites) are the only new features that seem useful. It tends to crash frequently, and the usenet news (aka "Collabra Discussion Groups") seems to be broken (some of the earlier versions had a fairly useful newsreader). It's also a disk hog. Note: This is a beta version. Peter Trei trei@process.com PS: I have it set on 'disable cookies'. DISCLAIMER: The above is my personal opinion only, and not neccesarily representative of my employer.
