I had to answer 'Yes', because it's closer to 'Only from originating site' than 'No'.

Perhaps some clarification is in order (originating site vs. third-party vs. session cookies)

I usually set the browser to only accept from the originating website. Helps to eliminate lots of those usage-tracking cookies that I don't like. Marketing firms/usage tracking companies don't need to be meddling in my browsing. It's none of their business.

(I also use Spybot S&D on a regular basis... so yeah, you might consider me to be paranoid/conspiracy theorist)

Only from originating site, but I'm always prompted on whether to accept or not. More often than not, I say "do not accept".

I automatically accept for 1st party cookies, and for 3rd party cookies, I am prompted.

not enough options listed.

I have third party cookies turned off, because there is not reason for a site I'm not even visiting to set a cookie.

I have local cookies turned on, for the most part with some specific sites banned.

Then I have a little c++ program that scours my cookies and it a site is abusing cookies as per my rules it turns cookies off for that site in opera.
