CookiePanel extension for Firefox

Overview

CookiePanel lets you see the cookies that are coming into your computer in real-time. Everytime a web site puts a cookie on your computer, you will be able to see it in the sidebar. The goal is to give you a better idea of which sites are tracking you and how. That way, you can make more informed decisions about which sites to visit or avoid and how you want to set up your privacy options. The panel is set up to make it easy to understand and easy to see which cookies might affect your level of privacy.

The CookiePanel also gives you some tools to act on what you learn. You can block or enable cookies, delete cookies (or whole groups of cookies), and get more information on individual cookies, all from the sidebar.

Installation

To use the CookiePanel, you'll need Firefox version 1.0. You'll also need the jsLib extension installed. When you start Firefox with the CookiePanel for the first time, it will check to see if you have jsLib installed. If not, it will give you the option to download it automatically.

Download CookiePanel (version 0.6) now.
