Overriding Your Privacy Setting for Particular Web Sites In Windows XP


If, after reading a site’s privacy statement (or discovering that it doesn’t have one that conforms to the P3P standard), you decide that you want to block or accept all cookies from that site, regardless of the privacy setting that you have chosen in the Internet Options dialog box, select either Always Allow This Site To Use Cookies or Never Allow This Site To Use Cookies in the site’s Privacy Policy dialog box.

You can also specify per-site privacy settings by clicking Sites on the Privacy tab of the Internet Options dialog box. The Per Site Privacy Actions dialog box shows, as shown in Figure. To permit or block all cookies from a site, enter the site’s address and then click Allow or Block. As you add settings for single sites, the sites will be listed in the Managed Web Sites portion of the dialog box.


Figure. The Per Site Privacy Actions dialog box lists all sites that you designate to be exceptions to your privacy policy.
