  • Internet Explorer lets you set rules for blocking cookies based on the policies of the cookie-placer.
  • No major browsers let you track or block beacons without installing extra software known as "plug-ins," as described under advanced steps.
  • All major browsers offer a "private browsing" mode to limit cookies. Chrome calls it "Incognito." Internet Explorer calls it "InPrivate Browsing," but this option is available only in the latest version, IE8.
  • It deletes cookies each time you close the browser or turn off private browsing, effectively hiding your history.
