Hi Az, 

It is true that Privoxy cannot see any content, cookies included, within HTTPS sites.  If you search the mailing list archive you'll find a couple of described solutions for chaining with another proxy that decrypts HTTPS; there is no ongoing plan to incorporate such within Privoxy. 

Which browser are you using? Most have cookie management built-in rather than as an extension.
