Can I block the "cookies. sqlite", pls.?

more options

Hello everyone,

I found that all the tracking cookies on my PC came from the same route path, like

.invitemedia.com [ C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\VINCENT LIU\APPLICATION DATA\MOZILLA\FIREFOX\PROFILES\474SC432.DEFAULT\COOKIES.SQLITE ]

This is but an example to show you the route path. There comes now my question: is there any way to block forever the "cookies. sqlite" pls.?

Thanking you in advance.

No, you probably want to keep cookies.sqlite because it stores all your cookies, good and bad. (Actually, Firefox should re-create a new blank one if you zap the file, so wiping it out is only temporary anyway.)

To block specific sites from saving cookies, you can add them to the Exceptions list. Alternately, you can set Firefox to expire the cookies after each session. In that case, you can create an Exception for sites that you want to remember you between sessions (sites where you get tired of logging in each time).

For more on how to customize your cookie settings, see:

Does that help?

Yeah, that helps quite a lot.

Million thanks.
