Per Site Privacy Actions Do Not Work as Expected
This article was previously published under Q298628
When you override cookie handling for an individual Web site, and then you visit that site on the Web, the following behavior may occur:
- The privacy icon is not displayed on the status bar, and cookies are saved to your computer, even though you configured Microsoft Internet Explorer to block the Web site from saving cookies on your computer.
-or- - Cookies are not saved to your computer, even though you configured Internet Explorer to allow the Web site to save cookies on your computer.
This behavior can occur when the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) -- or Web address -- of the site is incorrectly typed in the
Address of Web site box in the
Per Site Privacy Actions dialog box. When you over-ride cookie handling for individual Web sites, Internet Explorer does not warn you if an incorrect or invalid URL is added to the
Managed Web sites list, provided that it contains at least one period (.).
For example, if you type
1.2 or
www.microsoft.comm in the
Address of Web site box, and then click either
Block or
Allow, the invalid address is added to the
Managed Web sites list.
To resolve this issue, remove the invalid address from the list, and then type the correct address for the Web site that you want to manage. You must type the exact address of the Web site. For example, type
www.microsoft.com. To do this, follow these steps:
- Start Internet Explorer.
- On the Tools menu, click Internet Options, and then click the Privacy tab.
- Under Web Sites, click Edit.
- In the Managed Web sites list, click the incorrect address, click Remove, and then click OK.
- In the Address of Web site box, type the correct Web address, and then click Block if you do not want to allow the Web site to save cookies on your computer. Or, click Allow if you want to allow the Web site to save cookies on your computer.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
