Is it possible to delete cookies automatically every time they're set (or would such a feature be possible)? #171

There are many websites nowadays which use "Adblockwalls", i.e. when using adblockers like µMatrix etc., those websites set one or more cookies which trigger said Adblockwall and blocks all content.

(One example is the Austrian news website "derstandard.at" which sets two boolean cookies "__adblocker" and "zonck" to block all content, and if they're removed manually, they are set again after less than a minute.)

At the moment, I always have to delete such cookies manually every time they're set (which does get quite tedious quickly), so it would be very useful to be able to mark individual cookies for "instant automatic deletion" so that they're automatically deleted as soon as they're set.

So my question is: is it already possible to automatically delete individual cookies right away with this add-on, or would it be possible to add such a feature?

Depending on the values of those, and what their Web server does with those values (e.g., it may not care about their values, just their existence), you may be able to make use of the "protected cookies" feature. I see there is a tab for them in the extension's options, not sure how to use them though. But it sounds like that's the sort of thing which MIGHT help.
