Selective cookies.... Like Mitch (in reply #3018 of this thread), I've been using Cookie Pal to selectively accept cookies. It works great, and the price is low. You can try it for 30 days for free, and then decide. Cookie Pal works by pushing the accept/reject button that your browser outputs automatically, so you don't have to keep pushing it. It has a list of sites from which you will accept cookies, and another list to reject them from. You can set the action for sites you don't know to either accept, reject or ask first, which is what I do. Once Cookie Pal has a site on its reject list, that cookie never bothers you again. If you discover you must accept cookies for the site to work, you can change the flags, and so it's possible to use Yahoo portfolios, United Airlines, and other stupid sites which depend on cookies, without being tracked by ad.preferences and all the others. kburra.com I strongly recommend it. Its working fine for me with Windows NT, and there's a Windows 95 version, too. It supports multiple browsers, if you can't decide, and is configurable for foreign language versions (since it must recognize the text of the message box so it can decide to push the button for you!). Hope this helps. Dick Smith
