SCN: Disabling Cookies -- M.S. Internet Explorer

[emailer1]

It seems to me that, several months ago (like 12), there was some discussion about how to disable cookies.

 

Below are the steps to take to disable cookies if one is using Microsoft Internet Explorer.

 

However, there is a notation that this change of setting is (a) less efficient (why?) and (b) that this prevents access to some web sites.

 

To disable cookies:

 

  1.. Go to (open) Internet Explorer. 
  2.. Click on "Tools" in the (what else?) tool bar. 
  3.. Click on "Security." 
  4.. Click on "Security Settings." 
  5.. Scroll down the security setting until you come to "Cookies." 
  6.. Read the two options 
    1.. [(1) Allow cookies to be stored on your computer, and 
    2.. (2) Allow (only) per-session cookies.] 

  7.. IMPORTANT!  You can either choose a high level of security (to keep out cookies) or you can choose a medium level of security, but customize it to exclude cookies.  Poke around the "customize" button to see how that works. 
 

Good luck to all.
