Site List tab

Use the Site List tab of the Privacy panel to customize cookie control and mobile code control settings for specific Web sites.

The list displays sites you have visited in your current ZoneAlarm Pro session, and sites for which you have previously customized settings. If you do not customize settings for a site you've visited, it is dropped from the list when you shut down your computer or shut down ZoneAlarm Pro.

Note: Using third-party ad blocking software at the same time as ZoneAlarm Pro may prevent the Site List from being populated properly.

Site / Edited

A pencil icon in the Edited column indicates that you have customized privacy settings for that site, and the site will remain in your list.

If there is no icon in the column, the site is one you have visited in your current session, and will disappear from the list when your session ends.

Note: Privacy protection is applied only at the domain level, even if a sub-domain appears in the site list. For example, if you manually add the sub-domain news.google.com to the list, privacy protection will be applied to the entire domain of google.com.

Mobile Code and Cookie Control

The site list shows two types of Web sites:

• Sites that have delivered cookies to your computer during your current Internet session.
• Sites for which you have already edited custom cookie or mobile code settings.

By default, the list is sorted by site name. You can re-sort it by setting by clicking any of the column headers. The arrow next to the header tells you whether the sort is in ascending or descending order.

Privacy symbols

To change a privacy setting for a site, click the symbol you want to change, then choose from the shortcut menu.

Tip The general privacy settings in the Main tab of the Privacy panel are applied to any sites you don't customize privacy settings for. You don't have to customize settings for each site to be protected.
