Hey Bob – There is no need to uninstall PrivaZer. The only stipulation in order to manually manage cookies is that you must be in “Advanced user” mode. Switching between “Basic” and “Advanced” modes can easily be done directly via the program’s interface.

At top left of the main interface you’ll see a button adjacent to the PrivaZer logo which will say either “Basic user” or “Advanced user”… just click on that button to change between modes.

Once you are in “Advanced user” mode, click on the OK button. Now click on the “Cookies” item in the list and then on “See cookies” in the tooltip. Finally, change the Cookies Selection method from “Smart” to “Manual” and … voila!

Cheers mate… Jim

Thanks Jim for this very useful – and necessary – advisory.

I have become an ardent fan of PrivaZer since you introduced me to it.

My Windows 7 Pro SP 1’s backup has never worked satisfactorily for some reason, so last week, after 30 months of use, I did a (tedious) clean, formatted reinstall, and PrivaZer freed close on 1300 MG of junk when I had completed the job of reinstalling everything, including all the Windows Updates.! What other program can accomplish that?

What I get from your article, is that, in order to enable manual control of cookies, I must uninstall PrivaZer 2.6.3, and on reinstall make the necessary changes you mention. It seems to me these changes (e,g.) from Basic to Advanced, can only be made during setup of the program? For instance I cannot make this change now that my PrivaZer is installed and in use. Or have I got it wrong?

Please advise me on this point.

Thanks mate for yet another great article.

Cheers!
