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. I mostly use elinks, which unfortunately only has delete and save buttons, rather than a way of choosing which to accept or refuse, and I will probably just delete them all every now and then. I'm wondering if I could script something though - it saves the cookies into a plain text file I think, and it supports scripting in perl among other things. I might be able to create some kind of white list and delete the others whenever a new page loads or something. > Ian > > My PGP public key[http://silvester.org.uk/IanSilvesterPGPPublicKey.asc] > > On Sun, 28 Apr 2019, at 11:07, Az wrote: > > I have all cookies crunched by default and only allow them from the > > sites I want to login to, however today I noticed I had a huge amount > > of cookies in my browser. > > > > Am I right in thinking that privoxy can't see cookies from https > > sites?
