I have been using Cookie for several months following artie's recommendation in another thread. I now can't imagine not having Cookie or a product like it.

I keep Cookie's window open all the time where it has a list of locations for whom I want cookies....places like FTM, for example, where I benefit from the retention of things like log-in data. I make the choices about who can be in that list.

When I go to various other places, Cookie immediately tells me who has placed cookies and what kind. i.e. regular cookies or tracking cookies. And I can immediately erase those cookies with a click, rather than wait until some time down the line when a tracking cookie may have, well, tracked me.

I am also surprised by the number of my favourite sites who will decide that they should add a tracking cookie or cookies after I've popped by to conduct regular business. My bank, for example, adds tracking cookies every time I visit but, like any cookies, those tracking cookies can immediately be banished with a click.

FYI, FineTunedMac never adds a tracking cookie.

Long story short....I like being able to know, in real time, exactly what's happening with cookies on my drive.
