Here is what I did in SeaMonkey 2.0.x under WindowsXP I set my preferences under [Privacy & Security > Cookies] to "Allow cookies for the originating Website only". I used the Cookie Manager to delete all persistent cookies except for a very few that I really want to keep. After closing SeaMonkey, I copied cookies.sqlite in my profile into a new file named cookies.sqlite-backup. I created a DOS script to run in place of directly launching SeaMonkey; the script does the following: 1. If cookies.sqlite-backup exists, delete cookies.sqlite. 2. If cookies.sqlite-backup exists, copy it to make a new cookies.sqlite. 3. Launch SeaMonkey. Actually, the script does #1 and #2 for two of my profiles. In a third profile, I need to retain all cookies. I also need to allow third-party cookies. I use that third profile for accessing my financial accounts. Logging-in to the financial Web sites and navigating through them is complicated if all cookies have not been retained, and it is impossible without third-party cookies (cookies from the domains of the third-party sources of the Web sites). Of course, I use that third profile ONLY for accessing my financial accounts. A fourth profile is used for guests. That one has preferences under [Privacy & Security] set to "Always clear my private data when I close SeaMonkey". All checkboxes under "When I ask SeaMonkey to clear my private data, it should erase:" are checked. The checkbox for "Ask me before clearing private data" is not checked in this profile. In addition to all this, I installed BetterPrivacy from <http://netticat.ath.cx/extensions.html> to remove any Flash cookies. I set the option to remove them when I start SeaMonkey instead of when I terminate. That way, any Flash cookie set by some other application (e.g., IE) since the last time I used SeaMonkey gets removed before I start browsing with SeaMonkey. Because Flash cookies are not profile-specific and are stored outside of the SeaMonkey environment, I only had to install BetterPrivacy in the one profile that is always chosen when I first launch SeaMonkey. Yes, setting this up took some effort. Once it is setup, however, no further effort is required. (Yes, there is some effort if I want to add or delete a SeaMonkey cookie in cookies.sqlite-backup. That happens rarely.) By the way, because my cable modem is always on, it has the effect of giving me a static IP address. Every so often, I force a new IP address. -- David E.
