These post-browsing cleanup programs help you delete Internet cookies from your system.
Some cookies expire after a single browsing session.
But cleanup programs such as the three evaluated here can zap even persistent cookies and thwart companies' efforts to track you on the Net. Unlike the Netscape 6 browser, Microsoft's Internet Explorer 5.5 doesn't allow you to easily view information about stored cookies and delete them.

Clicking on arrow buttons slides a cookie from one list to another. Distinguishing the good cookies from the bad can be tricky, however.
