is there a way to have like a safe list not to delete?

nope, i beleive you can get a thrid party program to do this for you though, at the end of the day, cookies are a text file in a folder on your comp. so you just have to have it delete all of them except certain files:)

You could write a simple php script to do it…

unfortunally i dont have this knowledge can u help me out by explaining it or giving me an example of what to do

[Jeff Wheeler]

Something like…


<?php
if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
if (strpos($file,'kirupa.com')===false &&
strpos($file,'snowboard.com')===false) {

// If not kirupa.com and not snowboard.com, delete
unlink($file);
}
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
?>

ty
and where would i put this file?

In your cookies directory. Change the '.' in the argument of the opendir method to 'C:/Documents and Folders/… ' to the cookies directory, and then you can place it anywhere.
