How does Cookie Pal work?

Cookie Pal works by intercepting the message box which would normally be displayed by your browser to alert you of a cookie which has been received. Cookie Pal detects this message box before it is even displayed on screen, so if you are automatically handling cookies which are received then Cookie Pal will respond to this message box for you and it will disappear without you seeing anything on screen.

 

Because of the way Cookie Pal works it is very important that your browser is configured to display an alert when a cookie is received. Cookie Pal will enable this option for whichever browser you are using by default but if you need to change this option yourself for any reason, see the help topic title Browser options for information on how to do this.
