    Lately, nothing but this damned computer....
  1. Thanks Nergal. I will henceforth watch my blee....langrage... Two thumbs up!
  2. A thousand pardons for offending!! It was indeed meant in jest, and I had every intention to conclude it as the edit above, but was torn between getting it posted and feeding my critters before dark. The critters won. As usual. They just don't care that mom's busy right this minute, fighting this bleepin' antique computer...as usual. I'm mortified.
  3. Hi ya CASHOUT, and thank you for your support! If the devs would just add bleeping CHECK BOXES to the bleeping cookies lists, along with a 'select/deselect all' box at the top of each list, it would sure make things simpler. Whoa---apparently my sugar is low--- must go bake cookies....
  4. No, no, no--it's called "product placement" No, not yet. I do 'maintenence' only once a month or so, after the latest MS Update. So it will be soon. I can back up all my cookies thru Cookies Manager +, so that's what I'm looking at trying. It lets me filter them, so I should be able to pull this off without too much trouble. Will let you know if it worked? P.S. Did you get socked by Sandy?
  5. Thanks to all for your suggestions. At least now I have a way to NOT nuke all my hard work. There are 2318 in total, only about 150 actually "MY" cookies... Now to run out for some milk to go with those soon-to-be freshly baked Toll House 'Ultimates" Turtle cookies. Find 'em in your grocer's dairy section, somewhere near the milk. How handy! Nergal: I don't know--that's what the "uber geeks" are for? Yes, for the most part, they do. The vast majority have an 'expiration date' of 01//01/22. In addition, many carry the words 'opt-out' (or some variation thereof) in either the name or the content. So, yes, I really think it CAN be integrated into the intelligent cookie scan. All this was really aimed at the Devs, anyway, cuz with over 2K of these things, it's really a lot of work... So again, thanks to all. It's been very helpful. Peace/Out Gaia
  6. Well, DUH... that link was really helpful--thanks! BUT. What I'm asking is aimed at the Devs of CCleaner--similar to the 'newer' option of excluding logins: If those can be filtered out, skipped, there should be a way to include the opt-outs as well. Did I say that right? Doesn't it make sense to any one but me?
  7. Oh you guys, I'm so sorry I spaced! My 'puter was really sick for a LONG time, and I lost track of many a conversation, this obviously among them! Super Fast: Yours is a good idea, and I think I could manage it, once I actually get my cookies how I want/need them...but when I say there are hundreds, of 'opt-outs', I'm not exaggerating. And of course, every company does it differently, so they will need to be read--one by one...ugh! Andavari: I had tried Ghostery, but I found it really interfered with my browsing ability. I have since found a couple of other things that work very well for me, within Firefox itself. Cookies Manager+ is a great little program, and I use Better Privacy for 'Super Cookies' (which CClean also destroys), and Privacy Choice for trackers and adservers. But what I'm really asking about is aimed at the Devs of CCleaner--I need a way to REALLY exclude cookies I want to keep--including Flash cookies. Thank you both for your time and effort. Really appreciated.
  8. I have gone to a great deal of effort setting opt-outs from hundreds of sites, and I'd really like a SIMPLE way to preserve/select/deselect them when running the cleaner. I use Firefox almost exclusively, and I've used CCleaner for years and years, but this is beginning to become quite a chore. Is there currently a way to accomplish this that I have not found, or is it something that yet needs developing? TIA
  9. Been using CCleaner for nearly a decade, and I love it. It's never let me down! Now, all these years later, I don't want ALL my cookies nuked--I have over 100 Opt-Out cookies in there, in addition to all my log-ins. I did read, somewhere here today, that a function is now built-in to retain log-in cookies. Couldn't the same be done for opt-outs? Ever since I've collected these opt-outs, I haven't let CCleaner do it's thing--now there's 2,383 cookies in there! And it's not like I can read the things--sure some are actually labeled opt outs, but not all of them, and even I don't know which are which. And then there's my Flash cookies. I run Firefox 11.1, and have used the add-on "Better Privacy" for at least a couple of years, so at least there isn't a similar issue with those--I just untick the box to clean them. So I was just wondering if sometime in the future the Devs might figure out a way to let us keep these important files? Thanks for reading!
