Cookie Management

IECookiesView is a small and handy utility, that displays the details of all cookies that Internet Explorer stores on your computer. In addition, it allows you to sort the cookies, delete selected ones, view detailed information about each one and even save the cookies to a readable text file. If you are connected to a network, you can watch the cookies of other computers, as long as you have a read permission on the cookies folder and under Windows 2000, you can view the cookies of other users (admin rights). IECookiesView also allows you to view references to deleted cookies, that are still stored in the index.dat file. A very nice and functional cookie viewer.

Cookie Monster is a tool to manage and delete your browser cookies. It supports Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera and Gecko-based browser like Mozilla or Firefox - allowing you to manage all your cookies from a single location. Once started, Cookie Monster will list all the cookies found on your machine and then allows you to view the content of selected cookies, delete them or preserve them. The preserve function ensures that you can always delete your cookies without loosing your important login cookies etc. Easy to use interface.

AnalogX CookieWall allows you to quickly and easily decide which cookies can stay on your system, and which cookies should go - once you let CookieWall know which ones are unwelcome, it does the rest. CookieWall can be configured to delete cookies as soon as they arrive, to notify you of any new ones, or just que them up for you to check out at a later date. CookieWall is currently only compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer or derived versions (such as NeoPlanet); Netscape support should be available in the near future.

Cookies present a dilemma. On one hand, chances are you want to accept cookies from some sites (for such functionality as saving login information). On the other hand, so many sites write cookies to your hard drive that you ll probably want to delete them every now and then. Cookie Jar lets you keep the cookies you want and delete the cookies you don t want by simply sorting cookies into Allowed and Banned (or Undecided) jars. Cookie Jar can then be set to run when Windows starts up and delete all Banned and/or Undecided cookies, leaving the Allowed ones alone.

LockJar gives you total control over the Internet browser cookies that are placed on your machine. Cookies on the Internet are an inevitability and useful in most cases... but Lockjar allows you to decide which cookies you want to keep. The program basically watches your Cookies directory (usually C:WindowsCookies) and interrogates any changes made to it. It brakes cookie types down into three distinct categories: SpyCookies (may use tracking to gather demographics and othe statistics), Suspects, and Edible. The program comes with several known SpyCookies in the database, however you can designate any new cookie into one of the 3 categories yourself. SpyCookies will be delete on arrival, Suspects are kept for further inspection and Edibles will be allowed.
