It is a time waster to have to continually close and reopen the Cookies window and a potential privacy disaster to have your website reopened after you closed your browser. Please, please, fix this. Note: the Options dialog has to be closed while doing this. It is also a waste of time to have to re-clear cookies, and flash cookies as well, when the webpage reopened when you weren't expecting it. Work-around: keep a blank browser window open while keeping the cookies window open.
