If you go into your settings, under security and privacy, you will find your cookies, you can pick and choose which ones to allow. They remain safe when running your cleaner if you allow them. I use software that runs a tune up, and I can go in there and pick and decide which to keep. OR you can in security/privacy cookies allow all and turn on don't allow third party. Allowing the cookies that you use Opera, Facebook, Amazon etc will also help keep you signed in.

The third party cookies they are the way you're tracked. I tested this try with clearing my data within the browser, then I did the same using my software, and all 3 times, my pinboards remained, I remained signed into Opera and I'm a happy camper. I was pretty angry with Opera for my work disappearing. I'm still backing things up because I don't know if it's truly fool proof. But for now, saving those cookies and putting them on the keep/safe list is what worked 100% for tshaad last edited by Re: Pinboards disappearingI'm disaponted, just a little windows cleaner en my C and all my pinboards deleted.Bug ?

2025-03-27We’ve talked some about cookies (the kind which are saved on your computer, not the kind which you eat, although look at the bottom of this post for a great cookies-that-you-eat recipe!)[Website maintenance provided by Usestrict and we love them!]Some of the most frequently asked questions which we get regarding cookies are “how can I find out what cookies are lurking on my computer?” and “how can I get rid of them?”Well, part of the reason this is such a confusing topic for users with Internet Explorer is that different versions of IE store cookies in different locations, and that can be influenced further by what version of Windows you are using.Further, where IE used to store all cookies in a single file called, oddly enough, “cookies.txt”, IE now stores cookies as individual files, in a “cookies” folder.So, the way to find all of the cookies currently residing on your hard drive is to first close IE, and then search using your favourite file management software for a folder called “cookies”. It is often, but not always, found in the Windows directory.The Internet Patrol is completely free, and we don't subject you to ads or annoying video pop-ups.

Could you please make that operational again? It seems like a much better option for things we don't want to lose. Thanks.
2025-04-11Is rather amusing about this is that I recall the machine just sitting there unused but turned on...then suddenly the HDD 'crackling' sound went crazy and the machine sat there and 'did someting' over the course of a couple of hours (LOL). During this time I couldn't use it because it was so 'busy'. Never heard of such a thing, but removing ZA from my computer did the trick, and I was back to having about 2GB of free space on the HDD. Wierd huh??? I just decided to go with the windows firewall since this computer will be rarely used and won't have any important personal information on it.So that's the story!Thanks to all who made comments and suggestions. #8 If waiting for a format is the reason to install something like that remember, format /q or "Quick format" from the XP install screen.
