One of the big uses I have for CCleaner is to take a look at new cookies, and get rid of those I don't want. Even though I have cookie control set to "High" th same unwanted cookies keep on turningup. If I could copy the url from CCleaner, and paste it into the Block Cookies box it would be very helpful.

Where do you set the set the cookie control to "High" in CCleaner?

Well the topic title isn't quite correct, you can't block cookies. If you did then you wouldn't see many web pages.

The best way to get around your problem is to click Options\Cookies and highlight the cookies in your Cookies to Delete listbox and click the -> button to move them to your Cookies to Keep listbox so these will be saved each time you do a clean.
