Cookie settings and 'localhost'

Hi,

I am using the latest version of IE. In testing a web application, I need to
turn off all cookies in the browser, even session cookies.

My development server is running locally, so I access it through
http://localhost/.... However, IE clearly ignores my cookie settings and
accepts the session cookie (maybe even more, but session is all I am
interested in.) When I use the loopback IP address explicitly, IE does
restrict the cookies per my settings.

Could someone explain this behavior to me? It looks too intentional to be a
bug. How can I change this behavior and have IE treat 'localhost' just like
it treats 127.0.0.1 loopback IP address?

You help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Yaakov.
