I retrieve monthly checking and credit card statements, pay bills electronically, transfer funds between checking and savings, transfer funds between financial institutions, verify that direct deposits have been made, and retrieve tax forms (e.g., Form 1099-INT). I do NOT make any online purchases via this particular SeaMonkey profile. I have no idea why this one financial institution's Web server is interfacing with youtube.com and doubleclick.net. I do know that what I see when I use the "Live HTTP headers" extension -- both setting and reading cookies by those domains' servers -- is a violation of that institution's stated privacy policy. >> I found this to >> be necessary because they want my browser to have settings that are >> different from the settings I prefer for general browsing. >> >> One financial institution wants me to accept cookies from three >> third-party domains in order for me to access my monthly statements. >> Two of those domains are no problem; cookies from them already exist in >> the profile. >> >> The third domain, however, sets a session-only cookie.

I installed Adblock Plus in this particular profile and set the filter to block "*youtube.com*" and "*doubleclick.net*". I tested this and cookies from those domains are no longer being set. I still have to test with "Live HTTP headers" to see if I am blocking ALL communication with the youtube.com and doubleclick.net servers. -- David E. Ross Trump again proves he is a major source of fake news. He wants to cut off disaster funds to repair the damage caused by the Woolsey Fire in southern California because he claims the state fails to manage its forests properly. The Woolsey Fire was NOT a forest fire. Starting in an industrial tract, it did not burn through any forests.
