So I try again.

Since I installed Mozilla 1.5 I allowed cookies for Apolyton. My intention was only to allow Apolyton to set cookies. But obviously I got a lot more sides that set cookies without asking me. Maybe I didn't figured out how to set it properly.

So I allowed cookies from Apolyton but didn't activate the option browse Apolyton with cookies in my profile. The result was that I was auto logged in the Directory and was able to quote other people by using the quote button from the board without a relogin.

Afterwards I looked into my Mozilla properties I noticed that more page were allowed to set cookies then I indended, so I removed them and cleared all the cookies. And then page behaviour went back to normal, with the No loogged in message in the directory and the need for relogin when I hit the quote with reply button or the edit button.

Well the text went very long, so I hope you understand it now. so back to CTP2.

Possibly I can make it so, unfortunatly I can't find anymore the option to add sides that are allowed to set cookies. And as it looks that I need a lot of time to find it I don't bother to find that option, especially if I consinder that these sides that were allowed to set cookies on my computer, weren't allowed to set cookies by me. Probably except Apolyton.

Not quite that what I want, because this option means that I accept all cookies from sites that I visit explicitly. At least that is what the name of the option tells me. On the same page of the properties window there is a button that leads me to a cookie manager, and it listed sites that were allowed to set cookies and sites that weren't allowed to set cookies. I deleted all in the list and now I don't seem the option to readd an page again.

tools -> cookie manager -> block cookies from this site

Well it should have been:

tools -> cookie manager -> accept cookies from this site



It does work now, but it doesn't feel good. So I got three cookies, well now I have four I just have visited the directory:

bblastvisit: no idea for what it is.
sessionhash: seems to be the session number that is displayed in the addess bar of my browser.
CookiesOn: seems to be a bool, probably it tells the page if my browser accepts cookies.
sid: Seems to be the directory session id I am assigned to.

So the only question I have now concerns the use of the bblastvisit cookie.

It rather sounded like a Blast Worm or something like this.

And you are sure that Apolyton is not part of my private life. Well it looks like that only allowing Apolyton to set cookies does work.
