Depends on your browser. If you are using Firefox, you click on "Tools" then "Optimize" from the drop-down menu. You'll get a small pop-up window. Click on "Privacy" and then select the tab for cookies.

It is similar in IE (Internet Explorer). Click on "Tools" then "Internet Options." Select Security. Adjust the "slide" to permit the level of cookies you want to enable.

I'm not sure about Macs, Opera or some of the less frequently used browsers.

Cheerio!

What sites should I allow to use cookies? I don't like being spied on.

I know FC has cookies I clear them weekly.

I'm running an AVG Anti-Spyware scan right now. I have 95 infected objects so far. This one is high risk: Hijacker.StartPage. These are medium risk: TrackingCookies & Adware. This is low risk: Not-A-Virus.Downloader.Win32.Im.

Also what should I set my setting on? I don't know what all the questions mean. For example on .Net Framework what does XAML and XPS mean?

Is there a web site I can go to that will help me determine the best settings for my computer?

Shelley - the choice of sites depends on where you "visit!" I just let the cookies accumulate and then run AdAware and SpyBot-Search and Destroy on a weekly basis. Whatever nasty things they find, I tell them to clean out. Otherwise, I'd have to remember all those blasted passwords, and my mind just isn't that sharp anymore!! LOLOL!!

FC cookies I just leave. Moms Menu I just leave. The ones from some of the more explicit medical illustrations sites I visit for research I sometimes clean out (just in case the grandchildren get on my computer) but I leave the ones from WebMD, eMedicine, NIH, CDC and several others.

{{I really don't have any problems with kids actually seeing the medical illustrations, but my DD does for some reason (she was the one who always said "EEEEeeeeewwww!" when she picked up my OB books). I figure if they don't know what they are looking at, it won't hurt them, and if they DO know what they are looking at, it won't hurt them, and if they want to know about it, they'll ask me and I'll tell them the right stuff! LOLOL}}

All that said, any cookies that have "ad" in them get deleted. If you are using IE6, here is a page that will help you manage your cookies. Some cookies you do NOT want to delete! Others, you DO want to get rid of. But in the long run, you have to know which websites you go to regularly and want to keep their cookies. I'm thinking about work-related websites. You might want to delete cookies from sites that have a lot of ads on them. Cookies from sites like "As seen on TV" are examples.

Hope this is not too confusing!!

Cheerio!
Elizabeth
