I know it's weird. But I just checked and I still don't have any ever cookies. I only had two cookies I didn't want in "manage my cookies". The long list of repeat cookies isn't coming back for some reason.

If I told Cookie to not let me log in, it was an accident and I don't know what I did, but I can log in now that Cookie is gone. I can also log into the Cookie forum which I couldn't do after I installed Cookie.

I know it's simple for some people to use but not for me. I don't do well figuring out how things work on my own without a manual.

It wasn't. I tossed the Cookie and now I can get into my bank.

Cookie doesn't do anything that could affect your login unless you tell it to.

That computes. Once you check a site as a Favorite it remains as a place holder even if you inadvertently delete its cookies, and your FTM cookies periodically disappear until your next login, so that's probably why it was greyed out.

Something doesn't sound right there.
