I've testing how to configure my browser(s) to avoid/reject most tracking and so far here's while trying to keep functionality what I got (please feel free to correct me)

  • Browsers are IE9 and FF
  • AdBlock blocks both ads/tracker (FF)
  • Ghostery is a good companion for AdBlock (FF/IE9)
  • Still looking for an element hidding helper for IE9
  • HTTPS Everywhere is great to keep connections encrypted. (Looking for something like this on IE9)
  • FF doesn't handle cookies well

Now I'd like to exted this last point. If I choose to block all cookies, but allow session cookies is set, FF will store the cookies but if I close the session, the cookie is not deleted after I close the session. Now if I do the same on IE9, I get no cookies at all.

Does this means that IE9 actually doesn't store any cookie if requested and all cookies are deleted after I close a session on a site? Also note that cookies doesn't appear to be anywhere (not C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files nor %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies{\Low}.

Thanks in advance
