Spoc and Octopusprime--thank you for all the suggestions. I started with the suggestion of changing the security level in internet options. But it does not give me the option of allowing certain sites. Perhaps I have a different version of IE? But what I am experimenting with now is that I did a "custom" level of security where I set the cookies preferences as follows: For "in session" cookies, ie, not stored, I enabled these. For stored cookies, I set it to prompt me before accepting them. This will probably be a pain in the butt to get prompts all the time, but I want to see how this works.
BTW, even for banking sites and newspaper sites, etc., I think you don't have to keep the cookies, but if you don't keep them, the preferences you set for how the page is set up, etc. won't keep, or you'll have to enter name and password to get into the page each time you go there.
Thanks.
