If this seems a bit intrusive, or even creepy, you could change your browser settings to warn you whenever a cookie appears, or let you customize the interaction in other ways. But many people find the notification more hassle than just accepting all cookies. Cookie Crusher offers real-time security, blocking unknown cookies and allowing those you want, based on the preferences you set. CyberClean lets you clear unwanted cookies, files in your cache, bookmarks, and history lists from multiple browsers, by clicking one button.
Most cookies are harmless, even helpful.
Personalization cookies, like those found at online banks and booksellers, save time by remembering your personal information each time you visit. You might want to save shopping cart and log-in cookies. These are convenience cookies, as opposed to site-tracking and advertising cookies. Both tools employ simple interfaces with check boxes. With CyberClean, you select the types of files you want removed, then click a button to delete them.
