  • Customizing Cookie Control

    Internet cookies make it possible for e-commerce sites (like Amazon, for example) to recognize you as soon as you arrive and customize the pages you visit. However, cookies can also be used to record information about your Web browsing habits and give that information to marketers and advertisers.

    By default, Cookie control is disabled and all types of cookies are allowed. You can you instantly block all cookies by choosing the High cookie-control setting, which gives you full protection against all types of cookie abuse--but at the expense of the convenience that cookies make possible.

    If you wish, you can instantly block all cookies by choosing the high cookie-control setting, giving you full protection against all types of cookie abuse--but at the expense of the convenience that cookies make possible.

    You can customize cookie control by specifying which types of cookies are blocked and if cookies are allowed, when those cookies should expire.

    The Privacy group of features that includes cookie control is available in Zone Alarm Pro and ZoneAlarm Security Suite.

    • Blocking session cookies
    • Blocking persistent cookies
    • Blocking third-party cookies
    • Setting an expiration date for cookies

    Ad Blocking

    Ad blocking is disabled by default. You can customize ad blocking to block all ads or block only specific types of ads. In addition, you can specify what Zone Labs security software displays in place of blocked ads.

    • The Privacy group of features that includes ad blocking is available in Zone Alarm Pro and ZoneAlarm Security Suite.
    • Setting ad void control options
  • Customizing Mobile Code Control

    Mobile code is content on a Web page that is active or executable in nature. Examples of active content include, a Java applet, ActiveX controls, and JavaScript, all of which can be used to make Web pages more interactive and dynamic.

    Malicious mobile code, however, can copy files, clear your a hard disk, steal passwords, or command servers. Mobile code control keeps hackers from using active content to compromise your security or damage your computer.

    The default setting for mobile code control is Off. When turned to On, all mobile code except JavaScript is blocked. You can customize your mobile code control settings by specifying what types of mobile code are blocked when mobile code control is set to On.

    • The Privacy group of features that includes mobile code control is available in Zone Alarm Pro and ZoneAlarm Security Suite.
