Details

I want to deny all cookies except for the ones I explicitly allow. Currently, I do this via "noisy deny, retroactive accept." That is, I deny all cookies one at a time, as I browse to sites, and then accept just the ones I want to accept, or sometimes go back into Preferences and accept ones that I previously denied. My settings are "Enable All Cookies" and "Ask Me Before Storing a cookie". The problems with this approach are: 1) Browsing is continuously interrupted with requests to allow or deny cookies 2) If I set to Deny all cookies, then even the pre-approved sites are blocked. My proposed fix: 1) In Cookies preferences, another radio button called "Enable pre-allowed Cookies only and never ask". When this is set (instead of Disable or Enable or Enable originating ...), all cookies are denied without any pop-ups, unless the cookie site is already listed as an allowed cookie site. Selecting this option forces the "ask me before storing a cookie" checkbox to unchecked and disabled.
