Disallow Cookies

[Arpan]

To block sites from creating cookies in IE6, one can navigate to Internet Options--->Privacy & then click the 'Edit' button to add websites to block cookies. The websites listed will not be allowed to create cookies henceforth. Assuming that I want to block ALL cookies created by www.abc.com, will entering the address as www.abc.com restrict ALL cookies that the different pages in www.abc.com might create? For e.g. I visit www.abc.com/day.asp & www.abc.com/sal.asp. Assume that both these pages create cookies. I want to block those cookies that these 2 pages might create. So will entering the address as www.abc.com (just the domain name) block cookies that might be created by these two web pages or do I have to explicitly enter the addresses as www.abc.com/day.asp & www.abc.com/sal.asp to block cookies from day.asp & sal.asp respectively?

Thanks,

Arpan

Arpan,
There is no need to add the page after the server = www.abc.com
However if you are getting a cookie from [example] "ad.abc.com"
you would need to add that server also.
