Often I visit a web site that I will not likely visit again, but which wants to set LOTS of cookies. I am tempted to select "Use my choice for all cookies from this site". But that would leave a permanent entry in my Exceptions list. Continuing to do this will, over time, clutter up my Exceptions list. If the Exceptions list contained the date on which the last related cookie was set or modified I or an automated process (even better) could throw out old entries from time to time. Another annoyance is the inability to display cookies based on the domain. By doing that I could easily see that a particular domain is posting lots of cookies. With that information I could create a domain-level Exception and throw out the lower level Exceptions (say, clearing out ad.annoying.com and buy.annoying.com, for just annoying.com). Of course (to get to my final point) to do that I cannot simply change the url of an Exception. I have to create a new entry and delete the old ones. That is prone to allowing typos to yield results other than desired. It would be much simpler to be able to edit the Exception details
