Cookie Filter

The Cookie Filter section looks like this:

Using this section, you can configure a filter to block bad cookies.

You can set the life span for neutral cookies or let them expire after finishing the browser session.

The Cookie Filter controls the data stream between users and the Web in both directions, a requirement for efficient filtering. Transmitted cookies coming in on the Web server, in addition to those from the browser, are controlled by Webwasher.

The distinction between the good, and thus necessary cookies, and the bad cookies that invade privacy is carried out by Webwasher using an algorithm and the built-in filter list depending on the URL of a cookie.

To add and edit cookies on this list, go to the Cookie Filter List tab.

After modifying any of these settings, click on Apply Changes to make the modification effective.
