Cookie Crusher Description:

Many Web sites place electronic tags -- called cookies -- on your computer. Although cookies cannot damage your computer, they can assist site operators in profiling your surfing habits. Cookie Crusher# acts as a real-time cookie manager giving you complete control over cookies and your privacy.

Cookie Crusher# transparently accepts or rejects cookies from Web sites, as well as classifies incoming cookies and labels their purpose. You can add sites or individual cookies from a Web site to filter lists for automated cookie handling. Cookie Crusher# permits wildcard use for added convenience. Cookies received from new Web sites can be accepted or rejected without any interaction based on classification or expiration date; the program can also prompt you for confirmation. Cookie Crusher# keeps a detailed list of cookies handled during the current session and allows you to analyze and delete saved cookies.

In version 3.2 Cookie Crusher# can modify most cookies and make them session-only, allowing you to access Web sites that require cookies without having them stored on your computer. Version 3.2 also blocks referrer fields from being passed between Web sites, thus restricting a site from knowing how you arrived.
