Firefox Add-on: CookieSafe

There are lots of bad things waiting to get you on the internet. Doing a routine spyware scan will reveal that, but did you notice all those tracking cookies?

Not all cookies are bad, sometimes they come in handy. They can keep you logged-on to sites that you frequently visit and help personalize your web experience. However, some are just plain bad for you - tracking where you go, what you do, or worse.

That's where CookieSafe comes in. CookieSafe is a Firefox Add-on that can block all but the cookies you want to allow on your computer. From the author: "(CookieSafe) will appear on your statusbar (after installation). Just click on the icon to allow, block, or temporarily allow the site to set cookies. You can also view or clear the cookies and exceptions by right clicking on the statusbar icon."

Now you can more easily interact with the good-guy sites and leave the bad-guy sites in the dark about what you're doing on the web.
