Cookie Utilities

Overview:

Various sites on the internet use cookies to record information such as shopping carts, whether you've been there before, and so forth. To read these cookies, you have to know what name they were set under (if Joe's Computer uses a shopping cart to set a cookie to remember what you've marked that you want to buy, they may use "JoesCart=MB1450, Cyrix200" so that they can remember what you have in your cart. In order to read the cookie, they have to read the "JoesCart" item specifically. For your convenience we've provided these utilities to restrict cookies from your browser. We don't condone them, but if you wish to use them for whatever reason, here are a few good ones.
