Cookie controller that keeps cookies in initial state?

Post by Edude57 »

Hi,
is there a cookie manager that keeps cookies in the initial state after "accepting"?
On some websites I notice an "Accept cookies?" question, denying access on "No", in which case I set "allow for this session" in a cookie extension, resulting in the "Accept cookies?" nag at every visit.
So I long for an extension that keeps cookies in their state right after "Accepting".
Regards.

I don't know of any such addon. It would be technically messy. If you block a website from changing its cookies then the website will also not be sent any cookies that have been set previously. If you allow the website to see the cookies then it can change them, and set new ones, which I presume you don't want. Even setting the "allow for this session" preference may not work since new cookies can be set and modifications to existing cookies, such as the one you want to keep, will reset its expiration to the end of the session.
