    View Stored Cookies

    - -

    When the "Warn me before storing a cookie" option is selected in the Cookies preferences panel, you will be warned (while browsing) each time a web site requests permission to set a cookie. The warning allows you to accept or deny the cookie. The warning also allows you to select an option for your browser to "Remember this decision." - -

    If you select "Remember this decision," you will not be warned the next time that site tries to set or modify a cookie, and your "yes" or "no" response will still be in effect. - -

    If you wish to change a remembered response later, you can use Cookie Manager to edit your list of automatically stored cookies and the list of web sites for which you have approved or denied cookie access. To do so, click View Stored Cookies in the Cookies preferences panel. - -
