If you deny Java applets, you run the risk of losing access to Internet sites created with this programming language. As a compromise, you can check this box to block Java on untrusted or unknown sites, while allowing Java on trusted sites (see Don’t block Java/Java/ActiveX/Cookies/Proxy to Trusted Domains below). By default, Java is not blocked.

By default, cookies are not blocked.
