I think this poll is very simple. I do not mean if you delete them daily or on browser closing, I ask if you block them/accept them.

I also block 3rd party cookies with cookiesafe firefox add-on.
Does this in any way delays my browsing?

I keep them until I close FF.
Then, they are removed.

I dont block third party cookies, but use ccleaner at the end of the day to wipe out all cookies anyway , Why, because I just like to clean out all Crap-files. We know that Cookies can be used to make a Cookie tracking profile of your web browsing, but other than that, I do not see them as a thread.

I do block them - if they`re not necessary I don`t see any reason why I should accept them :-\

I block third party cookies, but it gets annoying when Live mail wont let you log out without third party cookies enabled, its like you cant log out if you don't let us shove a third party tracking cookie up your x first, grrr lol :wacko:

No, I don't block 3rd party cookies. With Sandboxie or Shadow Defender they are deleted at the end of the session.

Read these to get a balanced view of what cookies are and why some people choose to block them:
Fact and Fiction: The Truth About Browser Cookies (http://lifehacker.com/5461114/fact-and-fiction-the-truth-about-browser-cookies)
All About Cookies (http://www.allaboutcookies.org/cookies/index.html)
How to completely eliminate tracking cookies (http://www.edbott.com/weblog/2005/01/how-to-completely-eliminate-tracking-cookies/)
Defeating the Cookie Monster: How Firefox can Improve Online Privacy (http://jboriss.wordpress.com/2010/06/02/defeating-the-cookie-monster-how-firefox-can-improve-online-privacy/)
I allow 1st-party cookies usually and block 3rd-party cookies (with exception). CCleaner handles the cleaning part after normal browsing.
