Basic Privacy Options in Opera 6 & 5.01

This video tutorial shows you how to accept cookies only from Web servers that you choose. From Web servers other than the servers you choose, cookies will be refused. To specify which sites to accept cookies from select "Edit Server Filters" Type the complete server name in the white box, select "Add", then select "OK" to complete. If at any point you don't want to accept cookies from that server you can click on the "Remove" button and that cookies will no longer be accepted.

If you simply want to know when cookies are placed on your computer you can change your settings to prompt you when a Web site is attempting to place a cookie. By selecting the " Display Received Cookies" feature shown in the video tutorial your browser will alert you to the placement of a cookie and request your permission before it is placed. Be aware that some Web sites, especially complex ones, may attempt to place several cookies per Web page. The browser will prompt you for each attempt requiring you to either accept or reject the cookie.

By selecting this option, every cookie that is received while you are browsing on the Opera browser will be automatically discarded. Be aware that not accepting cookies may make some Web pages difficult to view.
