I have always had SM set to "Accept for current session only". That
setting does not work. (And, I just realized, I should perhaps have
complained about that instead of not being able to find the "Delete
All Cookies" button.)
Strange, it works for me. By definition, a session cookie is one that
does not survive a program restart, so if you accept only session
cookies, no cookie should survive a restart. Right?
I just tested as follows:
1) I set Edit | Preferences | Privacy & Security to
[x] Always clear my private data when I close SeaMonkey
[ ] Ask me before clearing private data
When I ask SeaMonkey to clear my private data, it should erase:
[ ] Cookies
2) I also set Edit | Preferences | Privacy & Security | Cookies to
(•) Allow cookies for the originating website only
(•) Accept for current session only.
3) I verified in the Cookie Manager that I had no saved cookies.
4) I visited nytimes.com, which set about a dozen cookies. I confirmed
this in the Cookie Manager.
5) I restarted SM and verified that I no longer had any cookies in the
Cookie Manager.
In sum, I told it not to clear my private data on restart, and just to
be sure, I excluded cookies from what it should erase when clearing
private data, and I told it to accept session cookies only. When I
returned, the session cookies were gone. In fact, I had no surviving
cookies.
