The cookie manager lets you view the websites that can store
cookies on
your computer and block those that you wish to. There are a
number of buttons along the top of the manager that give you control
of the manager. Apart from the Session button, these
buttons are the same for all managers and will be described below.
When you open this manager, the text bar along the top will be
pre-filled with the domain of the site that you were on when you
opened the manager, but you can change it to any other domain.
