Mike,
1. Open Internet Explorer options. Do this either from the internet
Options aplet in the control panel, or by opening IE, then pressing alt-t
for tools, o for options.
2. Control tab to the privacy settings, and hit enter on the Advanced
button.
3. You will receive a dialog on this setting controls how cookies are
handled in the internet zone. The first checkbox is "Override Automatic
Cookie Handling". IE will handle cookies automatically depending on how you
have your security slider configured for the internet security zone. To
override these settings, check the box.
4. Now, you will be presented with two groups of radio buttons. The first
group is for first-party cookies. The second group are for third-party
cookies. You can tell this by looking with your Jaws cursor, as Jaws at
least in my version combinations using IE8 and prior IE7 and 6 did not read
this directly. Your choices in each case are identical: Accept, Block, or
Prompt.
5. After that, you come to a checkbox to allow session cookies.
Session Cookies are a good example about why I disagreed with Ken D and his
strong opinion about cookies being useless and dangerous. Webpages have no
memories. A user going from page to page will be treated by the website as a
completely new visitor. Session cookies enable the website you are visiting
to keep track of your movement from page to page so you don't get asked for
the same information you've already given to the site. Cookies allow you to
proceed through many pages of a site quickly and easily without having to
authenticate or reprocess each new area you visit. The most common example
of this functionality is the shopping cart feature of any e-commerce site.
When you visit one page of a catalog and select some items, the session
cookie remembers your selection so your shopping cart will have the items
you selected when you are ready to check out. Without session cookies, if
you click CHECKOUT, the new page does not recognize your past activities on
prior pages and your shopping cart will always be empty.
6. When you configured everything to your liking, click ok twice.

Ken,
In all due respect, not sure that is the definitive answer, only your
opinion.
Since one can configure IE or to a lesser extent Firefox, cookies aren't
the
dreaded monsters you make them out to be. I have third-party cookies
disabled.
However, there are advantages to enabling cookies. First, you need to
enable them for certain websites to function properly. Second, cookies
allow certain websites to keep track of your recent activity: i.e. news
sites can show you your preferred articles, shopping cites can preserve
your
shopping cart and/or recently viewed items.
In summary, there is no need to block all cookies. Doing so will make the
browsing experience more inconvenient. Having enough knowledge to
properly
configure your browser and running properly security i.e. anti-virus and
anti-spyware programs will allow one to browse safely and still retain the
convenience afforded by the proper use of cookies.

Here is the definitive answer.
Cookies are supposed to speed up accessing "their" site.
For me, without "their" cookie on my computer, it takes about one half a
second.
Every time you visit a new website, "their" cookie is placed on your
computer.
I don't give a damn about a fraction of a second, in my lifetime.
Delete the crap, you will never miss the speed up.
And you can relax and feel secure about someone's potential snooping
around in your computer
It is really a trivial issue; no matter what you do. Worry about your
next
hang nail.
Peace

Hi Everyone,
When I am deleting the temp files in IE8, I find an unchecked button for
deleting cookies. Up until now, I have been doing nothing with this.
Does anyone have advice on deleting cookies? I have heard different
opinions, everything from doing it all the time to not worring about it
very
often.
Ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Russ
