Most browsrs can be set to ask whenever a website
wants to set a cookie, but I have never seen any
indication from a browser or from LS when a website
wants to read a cookie. Is there any way LS could
produce an alert when a website is trying to read
a cookie?
Could: Theoretically yes.
Does: No.
Little Snitch could eavesdrop all communication going out and see, if
a cookies gets transmitted.
But whether a website (or webserver) actually _reads_ a cookie, can
not really be determined - you can only say, whether it gets
_transmitted_. But that again is an easy to answer question: _Every_
cookie stored for a domain, will be transmitted to (and only to) that
domain _every_ single time a page from that domain is fetched. So if
you don't want them to _read_ the cookie, you must not allow them to
_write_ (set) them - and that is under your control already.
