pudelein Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Although CCleaner now cleans out Opera cookies, if allowed to, it unfortunately ignores the list of exceptions (CCleaner Options | Cookies). It ought to respect the list in the same was that it does for IE and Firefox cookies. I have had to uncheck Opera Cookies to prevent unwanted deletions!

Moderators Andavari Posted November 10, 2005 Moderators Share Posted November 10, 2005 I'm not surprised that CCleaner doesn't offer that hence if you open Opera's Cookies4.dat file you see no listings of sites, etc., it looks like some encrypted data. How would CCleaner deal with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I can view my Opera cookie file with Filesnoop, something I got some years ago from PC Magazine. I use it constantly to look at files of any kind: it makes either something like an old-fashioned hex dump, a text file, ot one formatted per the extension. I attach a screenshot that displays my cookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However a hexview like this one via IrfanView does show something, although I don't know how useful it is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
