Do remember that when this privacy policy is displayed for an active website, only that specific domain is shown in the Webpage privacy policy window. What this means is if you plan to disallow cookies from site A, then first browse to that site A and select the Webpage privacy policy in order to allow or disallow cookies for that site only, can’t block or allow cookies for site B while viewing the Webpage privacy policy when within site A.

All done, from now on you can have a granular control over managing cookies based on specific websites as desired.
