• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

how do i do this?

With this setting you only block third-party cookies. Third-party cookies can be for example from advertisers on the website you visit. Direct cookies and session cookies , the cookies from the website itself, are still accepted.

If you want to controle all cookies permissions you could try the extension CookieSafe

Important : If you want to use CookieSafe you have to change the value of "network.cookie.cookiebehavior" back to "2" again.

Did you change the number to 1 or 2?If 1,you may have to go back and change iit back to 0 again to be able to check your mail.(Changing it back to 0 will allow third-party cookies again.)If you changed it to 2,this blocks all cookies.

My fault. It was pretty late last night. The default value is "0" . Although on installing CookieSafe it will change to "2".

No sweat,I missed it,too.

Glad you can check your email now. :)
Yes,when you set it to 1,to block third-party cookies,you will still probably get the occasional tracking cookie(s),though it should cut down on most of them.If you want to remove the tracking cookies,this shows how you can do that,plus keep the cookies you want.

You can block doubleclick by going to Tools->Options->Privacy->Cookies->Exceptions,then typing doubleclick.net,then hitting Block.Then do the same thing again,but write doubleclick.com.
