Cookie Cutter

Netscape creates a 'MagicCookie' file which it uses to store small amounts of information for various web sites. Cookies are useful to web sites for a number of things. These include user authentication and tracking for marketing purposes. There are a few applications available which trash the MagicCookie file on a regular basis. This stops any site from being able to track you, but it will also lose any useful cookies, such as ones used for user authentication. Cookie Cutter gives you more control of the MagicCookie file. It allows you to selectively remove cookies that have been placed in your MagicCookie file. You can also set Cookie Cutter to automatically remove cookies from particular sites (domains), each time you use it, and to always ignore cookies from other domains. Cookie Cutter is freeware, by Scott Barnham. Works only with Netscape. More info on my web site at: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/2784 -Scott
