Selectively Allow Cookies
Hi Everyone, My Bank has suddenly decided that ALL cookies must be allowed before letting their customers in -- a requirement with which I wholly disagree. My FireFox is set to block anything that moves, and supported by Ad Blockers and Ublock too. Is there a way in which I can configure FF to allow me into the Bank site without having to change my "secure" settings every time? I am no computer genius - so please make it simple for me.
Thanks everyone.
Ian

Visit your bank site, press Ctrl+I > Permissions > Set cookies > Allow for Session.
This permission is permanent as long as you don't clear history with "Site settings" ticked, as this will clear all site permissions.

You can allow cookies from this domain for a session.

Seriously: Do NOT use similar-purposed blocker(s) along with uBlock Origin: this will cripple uBO's ability to defuse anti-blocker mechanisms and its ability to minimize likelihood of site breakage. ("similar-purposed" = any other blocker making use of EasyList).
Thanks for responding but - I did say I was no "genius" - so I'd be grateful if you could tell me - "Is there a way in which I can configure FF to allow me into the Bank site without having to change my "secure" settings every time?"
You can check for issues with Total Cookie Protection.
The Inspector will allow you to see which sites are lodging cookies and you can create exceptions for those sites. Open the Inspector with ctl+shft+i and click the tab labelled Storage.

Thanks zeroknight -- that seems a good solution. Much appreciated.
