John said I should clarify this, better.

Opera is set up to delete all new cookies upon exit, it isn't something I have to do manually. However, we save no cookies, so it pretty much deletes all cookies.

He sometimes does it manually, but that's to clear it for me to log back in.

John said there are no sites where we need a "permanent" cookie to remain permanent. There are sites where Opera sets a "permanent" cookie to let me use the site, such as the LA times, but then when Opera exits it still deletes it, and then next time I visit it it resets another permanent cookie.

I tend to get online and stay on all day, as a rule, not exiting Opera that often, so all my sites work that need cookies.

We tend to stay away from sites that rely on information based on a cookie.. I.e. I got off a forum site that needed my cookie for me to know new posts and such, which is one reason I really appreciate and like Iwethey, because it does not rely on cookies.

Another reason we don't like to rely on sites which need cookies to identify us, is because we switch browsers frequently and are two different people, and John even uses two different computers. So in that environment, John says cookies don't function well.

I don't know if that explains it all, cookies are a little greek to me. ;)
