    Accept cookies sent to IE9, but only keep them till the end of session


    In IE9, I know I can block all permanent cookies and accept all session cookies by using the "Advanced Privacy Settings" dialog. I also can instruct IE9 to allow cookies that are explicitly put into the list in the "Per Site Privacy Actions" dialog.

    But that's not good enough for me.

    I don't really want to "block" permanent cookies. I want to accept them all, but only keep them till the end of the session (like Firefox). In other words, I want to turn permanent cookies into session cookies.

    Can that be achieved? A user script, maybe?

    Edit: I still want to keep permanently those cookies from sites listed in the "Per Site Privacy Actions" dialog. So I can't instruct IE9 to delete all cookies at exit.

    Hi drkh. :)
    Here's the answer: Internet Explorer - Browsing History - Delete on Exit
    Hope that helps!

    Hello, Wallonn,

    Thank you very much for answering. But I still want to keep those cookies from sites listed in the "Per Site Privacy Actions" dialog. So I can't instruct IE9 to delete all cookies at exit.

    I did not fully describe my problem. Sorry.

    Hi drkh. :)
    Just bookmark those sites - save them as favorites. And keep "preserve favorite website data" box checked, as showed below.
    Hope that helps.

    You can also use CCleaner to delete/save cookies you chose.
    My IE8 Cookie setting are like this:

    Hi, guys,

    Very sorry for replying so late. I just forgot I had posted this question because I downloaded FireFox and have got immersed in it since then.


    @ Wallonn,

    keeping the sites that my cookies point to as Favorites is a wonderful idea. I'll do that. Thanks.


    @ logicearth,

    Thanks for the English version. It does help.


    @ Britton,

    CCleaner is an old friend of mine with whom I have not gotten in touch for quite a long while. Indeed, I should pay him more visits. Thank you very much for reminding me.

    With the IE settings I have and by using CCleaner to clean the cookis I choose work well for me. For example by saving the Seven Forum cookies I am logged in by opening the forum page. Other sites save my username.
