Movable Type 4.32-en tag:ask-leo.com,2009://3.3941-comment:48204 Comment from Fred Coyne on 2010-07-04 Fred Coyne http://unspecified I've followed the procedure to delete cookies but about eight of them stay put and refuse to be deleted. How do I exterminate them? I use IE8. Do I have to buy a program to do this job? If so, why does IE allow people to install cookies which cannot be removed?
It really depends on the specific cookies you're talking about. Perhaps they're just coming back quickly?

E.g. History Killer Pro removes temp files, favicons, forms history, typed URLs, keyword search terms, thumbnails, etc.

All temp internet files, cookies, index dat, thumbnails, temporary files, etc, is wiped away with this method beyond recovery, if you set the program to erase using the Guttman method (35 sweeps). However, cookies are not completely erased by this method. What I'm saying is, they can be retreived by a program such as Recuva, from the same company as CCleaner. You can't fully get rid of cookies no matter how many times you try to erase them. You can delete them, but the only way to fully destroy them is with a reformat and reinstall of your OS. HP actually recommends that you do this once a year, anyway.

And for those comments concerned with "flash cookies" and "index.dat" files CCleaner is recommended - http://www.ccleaner.com/

Both Firefox and Opera (which I prefer) allow you to specify exceptions. I let the browser take care of (most) passwords and never, ever tick "Remember me on this site", not even sites, e.g. Amazon, that I visit quite frequently.

http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html

The settings manager has 6 subsections (left column.) If you click on any of those subsections a separate settings manager dialog box will open and from there you can delete or change the flash settings.
