Hi Octopusprime,Can't resist examining this stuff! I believe the above setting would only continue to allow cookies from Dr. Bob, as noa's computer already does. But would not affect their ability to be stored/retained differently, or what happens to them during a proper temps/cookie clean up. I think the only difference would be that it would start preventing the loading or correct display of almost all other websites, as a high setting will refuse some necessary and harmless "deposits" that are required for viewing....
They really should design a way around this, it *would* be so useful to retain cookies selectively! : )
