Looking for FireFox extension

[Vegitto]

I'm looking for an extension similair to the NoScript one, only with cookies. In other words, block all cookies at all times, except from the websites I want to have cookies from. Anyone know one like that?

Why, out of curiosity?

EDIT: And you don't need an extension to do this. Just look in the privacy options of Firefox.

Just go to Options > Privacy > Cookies > Uncheck "Allow sites to set Cookies" > Click "Exceptions" > Enter websites you want to allow to set Cookies

For some reason, without visiting malicious sites, I keep on getting malicious cookie detections when Symantec or Spy Sweeper performs a scan (every day)..

There is no such thing as a "malicious cookie".

Yes there are. Tracking cookies can be malicious.

Unless I am not understanding your statement?

Explain to me what malicious act(s) a "tracking cookie" can perform on your system.
