Google has said that its cookies, tiny files stored on a computer when a user visits a website, will auto delete after two years.

Then don't allow them in the first place!  I use Cookie Wall which deletes cookies on sight unless you particulary wish to allow one from a trusted website.  Unfortunately I don't think it works on Vista unless they have upgraded it recently.

I don't need a third party cookie manager cluttering up my system tray.  Mozilla has one built in.  :smirks:
