MORE INFORMATION
An imported action of "prompt for cookies in the Local intranet zone" can be changed by the user to accept or reject when prompted for cookies from individual Web sites. For Web sites in the Internet and trusted sites zones, the Web site is added to the Per Site Privacy Actions dialog box with a setting of either Always Allow or Always Block. However, local intranet web sites are not added to the Per Site Privacy Actions dialog box when the user selects Apply my decision to all cookies from this Web site unless the user connected to the Local intranet Web site by using the IP address of the site instead of the NetBIOS or host name. For information about how to create a Customized Privacy Import File, please see the following Microsoft Web site: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537344.aspx
