Opera & cookies

Running Ubuntu 14.04

Ever since Firefox dropped the ability to ask if you wanted to accept or 
reject cookies I have been looking for a replacement. Pale Moon has that 
ability but on many pages it is really slow scrolling pages.


I started researching other browsers and found this info regarding 
Opera: http://www.opera.com/help/tutorials/security/cookies/

According to that page there is a "ask me before accepting cookies" 
setting. I downloaded and installed Opera vers 38. I have looked all 
through the settings including the advanced settings and cannot find 
that option.

Could anyone using Opera confirm that that option exists and how to use it.

Thanks,  Jim


WS=> If you really concerned about privacy, you might also want to 
consider the Large Storage Objects (LSO).  There is a Firefox Add-on 
called Ghostery that will delete all cookies and LSOs at the end of your 
session.  Also consider using the No-Script and Flash block add-ons.  
Using the No-Script add-on, you might have to temporarily allow the 
website permissions to make the website work properly.  You would do 
this only for websites that you really trust.
