visit a site.
You can selectively whitelist sites. For logins, however, I just let
Iceweasel store usernames and passwords and log me in automatically.
Yes, I know I can whitelist sites. But I visit a lot of different
business-related sites in the course of a month. Trying to keep track
of every one is tough.
As for the logins - I also let the browser store usernames and passwords
(encrypted, of course). But it also means I have to go through one
additional screen to "fill in the blanks". Just one more hassle.
I have no problems with sites storing non-third-party cookies on my system.
