"How to use HTML to handle your private cookies. So with this question it's pretty complicated. I mean there's a few steps you can take but very simply what we're going to show you is how you can handle your cookies and manage them yourself. So what we're going to do is we're going to open Internet Explorer. And once we're in Internet Explorer we're going to go to the tools and Internet options menu. Once we're in there we're going to go to the privacy tab. Here is where you can select the default settings for how you want cookies to be handled within Windows. You can go anywhere from accept all cookies to low, medium, medium-high, high and block all cookies. The default setting for this is medium. If you want to get into more advanced settings you can change how cookies are automatically handled. So you can set it so that it'll automatically prompt you for all cookies. What this does is it'll, every time a web site tries to save a cookie to your computer, it'll prompt you and ask whether you want to save or allow that cookie or whether you want to deny it. Once you have that pop-up you can choose to either apply your decision of allowing or blocking a cookie to all cookies from that site or just that specific cookie. So what we're going to do is we're going to apply my decision to all cookies from this web site. Now any cookies that this web site tries to save to my computer will automatically be allowed. This is the easiest way to manage and maintain and control how cookies are handled on your computer."
