Ken H. Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Used to use AdSubtract, but Trend Micro has killed it (and it was a bit of a performance hit anyway), and the old reliable Cookie Cop doesn’t work with IE 7. Any other good cookie management tools out there? Link to comment
Firefight911 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I use CCleaner. Used to be called Crap Cleaner. LINKY Link to comment
Silver Surfer/AKAButters Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 How does it work with Vista? Link to comment
John Ranalletta Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 How does it work with Vista? +1 with Vista Business. Been using for 2+ years w/ no problemo, plus, it will automatically check for updates. CCleaner has some other tools as well including a registry cleaner and uninstaller. Link to comment
RTrev Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 My cookie management policy is simple. White listing via Firefox. I deny ALL cookies, until I find a site which I want to use and which doesn't work without cookies. Then I manually add that one site to my white list. By doing it this way, third party cookies are never a problem. This is probably too extreme for most people. Link to comment
BanjoBoy Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hey Ken, +1 for Ccleaner, and +1 for FireFox. I set Firefox to except cookies, but then to dump everything when I close FireFox. (Cookies, Browsing History, and even saved Passwords) Go to Tools/Options/Privacy to change the "Cookies" settings. FYI Silver Surfer, I'm using Vista Ultimate, and the Ccleaner works fine. I usually get my shareware from File Hippo.com Linky Good luck, Andy Norris Link to comment
Kelly3027 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Not to sound like a fool, but what's wrong with using "tools" in IE? I am a clean freak and empty mine every time I'm done on the computer. That way my wife starts with a clean slate. Am I missing something? It seems to work just fine. Kelly. Link to comment

That works of course, but there are a few (about 10) cookies I like to keep. Such as, oh, say; @bmwsporttouring[1].txt It would be easy enough to write some batch process or something to copy/restore them, but I’m lazy. Unfortunately IE doesn’t have the ability to white list. I’ll check out CCleaner, thanks all! Link to comment
Ken H. Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 +1 for crap cleaner! Question for CCleaner users – Does it have the ability to keep track of certain cookie files, recent URLs, etc that you don’t want it to kill? I.e. - A white list funtion? Link to comment
Boffin Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 +1 for crap cleaner! Question for CCleaner users – Does it have the ability to keep track of certain cookie files, recent URLs, etc that you don’t want it to kill? I.e. - A white list funtion? CCleaner has a cookies whitefile and also has seperate include and exclude files to further customise its operations. Andy Link to comment
