Blocking cookies by name

Postby Dionysos on Sun Jan 17, 2010 7:30 pm

I was wondering whether anyone knows how to block cookies by name. As in, not "third-party" cookies but actually according to their name ("_utma" for instance). I don't want tracker cookies, but I don't want to cripple the functionality of every other site either.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot guys, appreciate it. Appears in opera you can block a lot via the content blocker (google urchin for instance), but firefox has the nifty add-ons.
