My setup is in my signature.
Cookie Controller has become totally useless, flooding me with dozens of unallowed cookies. I need to switch before the legacy extensions disappear. Or can I just switch to the cookie filter in Options>Privacy? Does that still function?
There are 7 sites where I allow permanent cookies
There are many where I allow only session cookies.
I need something that I don't have to monitor constantly.

Re: Need new cookie filter extension
legacy extensions dont cant get any further update:
https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2018/08 ... x-add-ons/
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addo ... ontroller/
i can suggest uMatrix with filtering cookies only. or try any cookie management as "cookie autodelete" or similar.

CC is over a year old, seems to be abandoned from author, and the complaints are growing:On September 6, 2018, submissions for new legacy add-on versions will be disabled. All legacy add-on versions will be disabled in early October, 2018. Once this happens, users will no longer be able to find your extension on AMO.

Re: Need new cookie filter extension
I don't need any extension updating because I'm staying with 52ESR.
Umatrix won't run on 52. I need a recommendation from someone running 52ESR.
I'm trying CookieBro, but I'm not sure how to distinguish permanent cookies from session cookies.

Re: Need new cookie filter extension
I've been aware of the warning, but the legacy extensions are still there at the moment.

Re: Need new cookie filter extension
I want to post for posterity that CookieBro works well and is easy to use.
