Cookie Filter
The
Cookie Filter
section looks like this:
Using this section, you can configure a filter to block bad cookies.
You can set the life span for neutral cookies or let them expire after finishing
the browser session.
The Cookie Filter controls the data stream between users and the Web in both
directions, a requirement for efficient filtering. Transmitted cookies coming in
on the Web server, in addition to those from the browser, are controlled by
Webwasher.
The distinction between the good, and thus necessary cookies, and the bad
cookies that invade privacy is carried out by Webwasher using an algorithm
and the built-in filter list depending on the URL of a cookie.
To add and edit cookies on this list, go to the
Cookie Filter List
tab.
If you want to use this filter, make sure the checkbox next to the section heading
is marked. The checkbox is marked by default.
After modifying any of these settings, click on
Apply Changes
to make the
modification effective.
Use the following items to configure cookie filtering:
