Cookies Issues -- 9:42 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

In light of all the recent weirdness again, I've disabled cookies in my browser (I mainly use Netscape 4.7x). The problem is that some sites like ESPN.com require cookies to access their special subscriber-only sections. Does anyone know of any good cookie software that will allow cookies to only be used on certain sites? I think they are building that kind of functionality into Mozilla, but it could be a ways off. Please email me if you've got any good suggestions. Thanks!

UPDATE! In searching for information on cookie utilities, I remembered a program I tried a while ago called CookieCop, a PC Magazine utility. I had problems with it before because it didn't allow some pages to display properly in Netscape. A newer version has come out since then which fixes that bug, so I'm giving it another try. Basically I set it to reject every cookie, then I'm going back through the events log and adding those sites I want to allow to use cookies. So far, so good. I'll keep you posted.
