Changing the browser settings
The Browser Settings window allows you to define the text which Cookie Pal uses to recognize cookie alerts displayed by your browser. This is set up by default for English language versions of these browsers, but may be different for other languages.
Internet Explorer
Cookie window title
Enter the text which appears in the title bar (or caption) of the message box which is displayed by Internet Explorer when a cookie has been received. This text must match exactly (including case) the text used in the title bar.
Or
You can enter an alternate window title here if the web browser can display cookie messages with a different title than the one entered above.
Third-party text
This option applies only when using Internet Explorer with the Advanced Security Privacy Update installed. If used, it should contain some text that appears in the cookie message box displayed by Internet Explorer when a third-party cookie is received. For more information about third-party cookies see the Reject third-party cookies help topic.
Expiration date text
When Internet Explorer displays a cookie alert, it displays the expiration date of the cookie if it has one. In the English language version this is displayed directly after the text "It expires on", as in "It expires on Mon Dec 01 1997 GMT". You must enter here the unique text which appears immediately before the expiration date in the cookie alert dialog which is displayed by Internet Explorer when a cookie is received. For Internet Explorer 4.0 just accept the default value for this setting as IE4 displays the expiration date in its own field and this setting is not required.
Cookie text
You must enter the word "cookie" as displayed by Internet Explorer in each of their cookie alert dialog boxes. If Cookie Pal does not find this word contained in the text of the alert dialog box then it will not intercept the dialog box and it will be displayed as normal.
Defaults
This button will reset all of the text options for Internet Explorer to their default values for a user selectable language. When you click this button a menu will appear allowing you to choose a language. You should choose the language used by your copy of Internet Explorer and the default values for that language will be put into the above fields. If you select this option you will lose any overrides you may have entered and will have to enter them again.
Netscape
Cookie window title
Enter the text which appears in the title bar (or caption) of the message box which is displayed by Netscape Navigator when a cookie has been received. This text must match exactly (including case) the text used in the title bar.
Expiration date text
When Navigator displays a cookie alert, it displays the expiration date of the cookie if it has one. In the English language version this is displayed directly after the text "persist until", as in "This cookie will persist until Mon Dec 01 1997 GMT". You must enter here the unique text which appears immediately before the expiration date in the cookie alert dialog which is displayed by Netscape Navigator when a cookie is received.
