Persistent cookies have an expiry date.  Once they are past that date, they 
will not be used.  Session cookies have no expiry date, but they do not persist.

Save it in the Password Manager. Then SM will automatically enter it 
whenever you visit that site.



I have to enter my name in a Complex format with "codes" - so it does
not act like passwords do.  Otherwise I would do that.

If I go thru the "login" procedure, then bail out w/o getting out of
SM or clearing my cookies, when I go back - all that name stuff is there
and I just click OK.

So I figure it is stored in the cookies for the college.
If I clear the cookies, I have to go thru all the rigamarole AGAIN.

Set SeaMonkey to only accept cookies for the current session. In the Data 
Manager, Page Info permissions or old coolkie viewer then set the weksite to 
"Allow" which overrides it for this site only. Won't help if you clear all 
cookies manually but with the old cookie viewer it is easier to kill cookies 
only for specific sites:

A slightly different situation is easy.  I want certain cookies to
persist.  All others should be "session only".

I located the folder containing my profile.  There I found the file
cookies.sqlite, selected it, right-clicked, and selected Properties.  I
checked the checkbox for "Read-Only".  Servers setting cookies respond
as it they are setting persistant cookies.  When I terminate SeaMonkey,
however, those cookies are lost.

Of course, I have to keep track of the cookies that remain in the
read-only file to make sure their expiration dates have not lapsed.
When that happens, I do a fresh launch of SeaMonkey, uncheck the
checkbox for "Read-Only" on the cookies.sqlite file, and then visit only
the site for which I want to keep cookies.  I must then terminate
SeaMonkey to get the cookies moved from memory to the cookies.sqlite
file, which I then check the checkbox to make the file "Read-Only" again.
