1. Set your home page to either about:blank or someother local (non-Internet) page. 2. Check all cookies to make sure that you have only the ones you want. Delete all the others. 3. Change your permissions to allow all cookies and to accept cookies normally. 4. Visit ONLY those Web sites from which you want cookies saved. 5. Terminate all instances of SeaMonkey. 6. Re-launch SeaMonkey. DO NOT VISIT ANY WEB SITE. 7. Repeat step #2. 8. On the menu bar, select [Help > Troubleshooting Information]. Under "Application Basics ", select the "Show Button" to the right of "Profile Folder". 9. Terminate all instances of SeaMonkey. 10. In the profile folder launched in step #8, find the file named cookies.sqlite. Get its profile and mark it read-only. You can then undo steps #1 anbd #3. Other Web sites might think they are setting cookies, but no cookies will be saved. On the other hand, the cookies that you did save in step #4 will remain saved. You should check your truly saved cookies about once a month to make sure none have expired. You might have to repeat these steps to remove expired cookies and capture their replacements. Step #2 and thus step #7 can be vastly facilitated if you install the PrefBar extension from <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/prefbar/> and then install the Permissions Menu from <http://prefbar.tuxfamily.org/buttons.html#permissionsmenu> into PrefBar. -- David E.
