Each time you visit a site that appears in either the Allowed or Rejected list, McAfee Internet Security adds the number of cookies accepted or rejected to the list. You can see the totals for a Web site in the Browser Buddy.
If you change your mind about a site, you can remove it from the Allowed or Rejected list in the Cookie Blocker settings. The next time that you visit that site it will be as if you are visiting it for the first time. If you want to remove cookies for a site from which you’ve previously accepted cookies, run a Security Check and remove the cookies for that site.
TIP
You can run Security Check so that it only looks for cookies. On the Perform an Internet Security Check of Your Computer window, select Change How My Computer is Checked. In this window, clear all options except Cookies. Click OK and select Check My computer Now. After you are finished with the CheckUp, don’t forget to revert to your previous settings.
