Cookies are handled very different in Internet Explorer 8 than they are in older versions of IE. Here’s how you can enable or disable them.

1. Click Tools.

2. Select Internet Options.

3. Click Privacy.

4. Move the slider to a setting desired. Options range from Block All Cookies to IE8 to Accept All Cookies. There are also options under Advanced where you can customize the settings.

Does using using Skype have any affect on my connection whether I have cookies on or off?

I disabled the cookie protection in my security suite and left everything in the tools/internet options/privacy on default settings and also checked in General setting to delete all this is on exit. Then under the new listing under tools for Delete Browsing History, I checked the first 4 items and it works like a charm now. The Sec. Suite acted as a double firewall and it is handled in the tools heading.
