In order to delete cookies, go to Tools > Advanced Tools

Tracks Eraser. Check the boxes for the things you want

to delete and press 'Erase Tracks.' That's all there is
to it.

Please note that doing this might cause problems with
some web sites, such as Google or any web site that
utilizes cookies to store your preferences. Also, most
cookies DO NOT contain personally identifiable
information, contrary to what you might have read. Most
of this disinformation comes from companies that want to
scare people into buying software that they really don't
need. On a parting note, your web browser only allows
the site that created the cookie to access and read the
cookie.

yea you can do it manually on IE too, but i prefer the
feature on some of the standalone antispyware deleting
cookies automatically and also deleting the cookie that
personally track personal preference...etc. i don't like
website checking out what i've look at and what i look at
on there site. cookie still contain information that he
website can see.

Not always true. FireFox can be set to allow third-party cookies.

 

[Alan]

What I meant to say was that only the server that stored
the cookie on your system can access that particular
cookie. Since third-party cookies come from a different
server than the one serving the web page to your system,
the third-party server can only view the cookie it stored
there, it can't read the other cookies. However, there
have been some sercurity holes that have allowed web
pages that didn't create a particular cookie from viewing
that cookie. These cases are rare, and updates have been
made available to fix these problems.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Just so you know, the way I worded it originally is
almost identical to the way that Microsoft worded it in
their documentation for XP Pro. Go to the page,

p/all/proddocs/en-us/sec_cook.mspx to see for yourself.
