Why is the Session page blank when I know I have received cookies?

The Session tab displays cookies which have been received for the current session only. Every time Cookie Pal exits it clears all entries from this tab, so if you start Cookie Pal and immediately look on the Session tab it will always be empty. You should examine the Session tab after you have been web browsing and have received cookies, but before you close your web browser. The "Always Accept" and "Always Reject" buttons will only be enabled when you click on one of the entries in the list on the Session tab to highlight the entry.
