I just wish it didn't need a cookie for each little bit of map
'cos I'm not giving free reign to Google cookies and I can't see
any way of only allowing cookies on Google maps and not the entire
Google.

Does it?

I Block all Google.com (& also all Google.co.uk) Cookies.
& Maps.Google.com works fine.

... 'cos I'm not giving free reign to Google cookies and I can't

entire Google.

Nope, unfortunately, it doesn't seem as if IE lets you specify
Sub-Domains for Cookies?

But I find that Maps.Google.com works fine with the IE Cookie
Settings that I use.

I have them Set as...

First Party Cookies
(/) Prompt
Third Party Cookies
(/) Block

(There's never any legitimate need that I can establish for
3rd Party Cookies to be Accepted)

[/] Always Accept Session Cookies.

Yep that's how mine are set too. As you know :-)

With it Set like that, yes, I get a Prompt from the Browser, when
I go to Maps.Google.com,asking if I want to Accept their Cookies,
but I just say no [Block Cookie].
I Ticked the Box...

[/] Apply My Decision to all Cookies from this Web Site

And doing that also prevents me from accessing Gmail.

Yep, (on/from their Web Site)
Which is why I added in my Post...

<quote>
& the Google Maps Site works fine with them Blocked.
So does the normal Google Search Site (but Google Mail & the
personalized Sites need you to Accept their Cookies)
</quote>

& also why I then said...

<quote>
You could Set up Rules & Filters in a Web Filter Utility, such as
The Proxomitron to Block the Cookies on a more specific basis,
if you wanted to.
</quote>

In other words, if you *do* want to be able to Access the Google
Mail Web Site (& any of the other Google Web Sites that offer
"Personalization", which need you to Accept their cookies, you would
have to use more than the Cookie handling Facilities that Internet
Explorer offers, to be able to block the Cookies from the Google
Search (& Maps) Sites, yet still Allow the Cookies from the Google
Mail Site etc.

Or...
As you mention here, (below) just access your Google Mail Account
using a normal POP3 Mail Client, rather than using the Google Mail
Web Site (but then you don't get all the fancy "AJAX" type Features!)
:-)

... However since I've now got my Gmail set to download with OE
I might try it again. Until that is, I need to use the Gmail web
site for any reason.

Well, then you just (temporarily) Remove google.com from the List
of Blocked Sites, in your IE Cookie Settings (& Add it back in when
you have finished - you can do that with a .REG (or .INF File, that
you can Click on to Import the Settings)...

Or Set it (Internet Explorer) so as to *Allow* Google Cookies,
(thus letting them (Google) Store the Cookies from the Google Mail
Site on your PC) but then Block the Cookies from all the other Google
Sites, by Setting up Rules & Filters to Block them in a Web Filtering
Utility, such as something like The Proxomitron (or even use the KPF -
Kerio Personal Firewall - Web Filtering facilities, but they only work
for the 30 Day Trial Period, in the Free Version of Kerio Personal
Firewall...

Unless you Pay for it, or unless you want to dig around in the
Registry, finding & ReSetting the Various Trial Period Entries
Kerio have concealed in there (along with the Entries in the
System.ini File in the windoze Folder & the kpf.cfg File in the
Config Folder, in the Kerio Folder, in the Program Files Folder),
which they The Kerio Personal Firewall Program uses to check whether
the Free Trial Licence Period has Expired.
