Have you tried the "Allow cookies for the originating site only (no

I refer you to my original query, which you apparently have not read.
Slipped my mind when replying.
Did you try a test profile, visit no web sites, check cookies. What did
you find?
See the response I gave to »Q« 16 minutes ago downthread.
So you didn't try a test profile.
Okay, I started my SeaMonkey with the test profile. Had the 2 Google
cookies I mentioned earlier. Cleared cookies, history, cache, and
everything else I could check.
Restarted SeaMonkey with the test profile, had the 2 Google cookies
again, repeated the Clear history, restart process and the 2 Google
cookies come back on every restart.
Let me set "Block Cookies from This Website", the website being
<http://www.seamonkey-project.org/start/>, clear history, restart and
they're back. "Block Cookies from The Website" under Tools > Cookie
Manager is still enabled.
Let me try checking "When removing, block the listed websites from
setting future cookies" in the Cookies tab of Data Manager and using
"Remove" there also. APPLAUSE! No Google cookies!
That was an adventure. :)
An interesting one, but not really relevant to my query.
I don't get Google cookies on startup as you do, so I don't need to cure
a problem I don't have.
I don't get them merely by launching the browser as you do, so I don't
need to cure a problem I don't have.
(I don't understand what clearing history has to do with cookies, but be
that as it may...)
I do get precisely one Google cookie by visiting nhl.com, and since
Google isn't the originating site, that makes them third-party cookies,
which SeaMonkey claims it's blocking.
How can Google set a third-party cookie from nhl.com when my setting
says to reject third-party cookies? I must conclude that SM's
cookie-handling routine is not working correctly.
Sorry for the unnecessary noise.
Then you need to file a bug report, or nhl.com is setting it and it
isn't a third-party cookie.
Since a lot appears to be broken in SeaMonkey lately, you could switch
to Firefox.
