So cookie management in Safari still lags.
The Firefox and Mozilla people have the ability, among other things,
to make all cookies session cookies (just the rest of the
configuration of Firefox/Mozilla is complex when you start
determining precisely the most secure configuration that will protect
your users and not annoy them by breaking common sites, like the
Apple online store and the IEEE online journal system).


I would very much like to see the Safari preferences enhanced
so that the "cookie configuration" preferences pane had a
separate checkbox for "session cookies only; all cookies are
deleted when Safari exits".  For one thing, that would let me
configure my elderly parents' system in a way that is reasonably
safe but also works with most web sites (at the same time).

Separately, I also wish that I did not have to re-select "Private
Web browsing" each time I startup Safari.  I ought to be able
to select that one-time for all future Safari sessions (until
I disable it).
