Cookie Pal does not recognize cookies from a program that I am running.

Cookie Pal can be configured to work with most programs which can display cookie messages on your screen, such as news ticker programs, Internet chat programs, search programs etc.

There are two ways to configure Cookie Pal as follows:

 

Using the Modules option on the Configure tab in Cookie Pal
To do this, just go to the Configure tab in the main window of Cookie Pal and click on the Modules button. You can then click the Add button to add a new program that Cookie Pal should watch for cookies. You need to enter the actual name of the .EXE file that is used to run the program as well as a description. You can click the Help button for more information.

 

Using the Add Browser command

You can use the Add Browser command in Cookie Pal as follows:

  1. Make sure that Cookie Pal is running. You will see the little cookie icon in the taskbar tray (next to the clock in the lower right corner of the screen) when it is running.

  2. Wait until you see one of the cookie messages on screen from the program in question.

  3. While the cookie message is still displayed, click on the Cookie Pal icon in the taskbar tray with the *right* mouse button. A popup menu will appear, and you will then need to select the "Add Browser" command.

  4. Cookie Pal will attempt to find any cookie alerts which are on screen and will try to identify the program which displayed the alert. If the program which displayed the alert is a 16-bit program, then Cookie Pal will report that it cannot find any cookie alerts on the screen.

  5. If Cookie Pal does recognize the alert, it will display a message saying that it has detected the program which displayed the alert, and will ask you if you would like to monitor this program in the future. Click Yes to add this program to the list of programs monitored by Cookie Pal.

  6. You will then need to restart both Cookie Pal and the other program, before Cookie Pal will work correctly with it.
