cookies are accepted from all nodes.
The button “Nodes” allows the user to set exceptions. This is a very useful function,
as exceptions have priority over automatic analysis. The button “Sites” is unavailable
if the minimum or the maximum confidentiality level is selected, as it has no use in
such cases.
Pressing this button displays the window, which allows the user to enter a site
address and select the applied action (Block or Accept), which help manually accept
or block cookies for certain sites. In particular, the user can set a high confidentiality
level and then permit acceptance of cookies for certain nodes.
The button “Advanced” allows the user to override automatic processing of
cookies and set a definite response of the browser to first-party cookies (created
by the site from which the page is opened) and third-party cookies (the ones created
by elements located on other sites—in particular, banners and counters) (Fig. 2.31).
