I found the best solution (best for me) to be with the PrefBar extension from <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/prefbar/>. I imported into PrefBar the Permissions Menu menulist from <http://prefbar.tuxfamily.org/buttons.html#permissionsmenu> and used it to get the old Cookies Manager. On the Cookie Websites tab, I deleted entries for Web sites that indicate "website can set cookes" and re-entered those sites with the Session button. If I want to block a Web site completely from setting cookies, I select the Stored Cookies tab on Cookie Manager. I check the "Don't allow websites that set removed cookies to set future cookies" checkbox and then delete the unwanted cookies. Note that, after the Stored Cookies tab indicates only those cookies I really want to keep, I terminate the Cookie Manager and SeaMonkey. After making sure that everything is terminated, I locate cookies.sqlite in my profile and mark it "read-only". Web sites might think they are setting persistent cookies but those cookies do not get written to their database when SeaMonkey is terminated. They all become "session only". -- David E.
