Cookie filter item properties window

This window shows properties of a single cookie filter. It is used both for entry of new cookie filters and for editing them. See Understanding cookie filters for background information on cookie filters. See How to block cookies? and How to unblock cookies? to learn more about cookie blocking and unblocking and other ways of cookie filters management.

This window can be opened from Cookie filters tab when entering a new filter or editing a filter.

Following fields are available:

• "Address" - host address mask. A document address should match host address mask in order for this cookie filter to be applied for cookies when browsing it. See Understanding masks for information on mask syntax;

• "Apply to subdomains as well" - this option is similar to "Apply to subdomains as well" option in Banner filter item properties window;

• "Enable cookies" - set of checkboxes that, when checked, indicate which cookie types are allowed when browsing a document that matches this filter.
  In advanced mode there are following choices:

  • "First-party incoming" - when checked, first-party incoming cookies are enabled;

  • "First-party outgoing" - when checked, first-party outgoing cookies are enabled;

  • "Third-party incoming" - when checked, third-party incoming cookies are enabled;

  • "Third-party outgoing" - when checked, third-party outgoing cookies are enabled;

  • "Session incoming" - when checked, session incoming cookies are enabled;

  • "Session outgoing" - when checked, session outgoing cookies are enabled.

  In simple mode there are following choices:

  • "First-party" - when checked, all types of first-party cookies are enabled;

  • "Third-party" - when checked, all types of third-party cookies are enabled;

  • "Session" - when checked, all types of session cookies are enabled.

  For more information on cookie types see Privacy on the web. To learn about recommended cookie settings see What could I do to protect my privacy?
• "Enabled" - similar to "Enabled" option in Banner filter item properties window.

 A document is considered matching a cookie filter if document host address matches host address mask (with regard to "Apply to subdomains as well" field). When document matches the filter, further cookie filter processing stops and found filter is used to determine cookie policy. Otherwise, it is considered that the document does not match the filter. See Understanding cookie filters for more information on cookie filters processing.
