Will power. Just convince yourself that you don't need a cookie. \n\nI have the same problem every time I go to fill my water bottle. The water cooler is in the lunch room, and there usually is some type of junk food in there. Especially this time of year with all the vendors sending candy and stuff as gifts.

Hi generally accepting all cookies isn't a problem however you should definetly goto Microsofts website and download Windows Defender (its free). This will prevent bad cookies from being stored such as cookies that track which pages your viewing for advert purposes. It also protects you from bad websites and general internet nastys.\n\nI'm assuming your using Internet Explorer? Rather than Opera, Netscape etc, if not I'm afriad I cannot help. In Internet Explorer click on the Tools Menu then select - Internet Options - Delete Files - Ok - Ok. \n\nAlso try Tools - Internet Options - Security\n\nunderneath the text "Select a Web content zone to specity its security settings." should be four pictures click on each picture (Pictures should look like globe, screen, tick, and stop sign) and click the button Default Level. Once you have done that for all four pictures click OK.\n\nThen try going to yahoo and logging in again. Your websites will be a little slow because you deleted your cache, thats what a computer uses in this case to speed up viewing websites. Hope this sorts you out.

Chocolate's addictive. I have the same problem! My sister was addicted too. She stopped by suffering for a couple of days and now she never gets cravings. She's lost lots of weight! I just have to get round to the suffering bit....

Cookies are the crumbs that get dumped and left on your computer every time you go on-line and brouse. Some are good as they come from your ISP or Yahoo, etc. They remember your username etc. so you don't have to log in every time you go on. The rest are pests at best and can be dumped. I purge my cookies every time I get ready to go online and some times just after I go off. Can't help with I_Mac as I am a Windows user, but your equiv. of Explorer should barf up your cookie folder or what ever Mac calls it. They are used to track your actions, mostly to figure out how to sell you something by profiling your searches. Some are the main cause of spam. Your IP gets tracked, cookied, and next time you go on they fill your bulk mail box up (if you have one as Yahoo does) with junk mail.

If you deleted cookies from that site, they would be restored after you typed the address in the address bar and opened their site.\n\nDid you change your internet options to disallow cookies?  If you did, many sites will not give you access.\n\nGo to Tools\nInternet Options\ncheck your settings\nI have my "Privacy" set to Medium.  So far, no problem.  That's o.k. for me.  I don't want any smut.

I am getting addicted too. Why not time yourself. After one to 2 hours, shut it down and do something else. Don't keep going back to it. Points don't matter at all.

I don't know which browser you use, but in Tools - Internet Options there is always a way to manage your cookies; you can allow one site to set cookies and block others.\nJust let that site to set cookies by copying and pasting/typing the address into the box.
