Hello everybody, now the thing that I want to know about is called Flag, you can find it under Edit > Preference > Privacy & Security > General > Privacy Settings, when you get there you’ll find six privacy levels Low, Medium, High and then Custom, one of the four choices that you can make when accepting cookies is called Flag, the thing I want know about is what is Flag and the main thing is what does it do because I looked everywhere at the K-Meleon website and I couldn't find anything, and that’s it thanks for noticing.
I have not tried it. I will have to make a guess.
The German equivalent of Flag is Markieren = to mark.
In German this word (probably a loan word from a Romance language) is only used for "to mark" with no ambiguity (we have another word for Flag when we mean US flag (Flagge,Fahne).
IMHO it will be indicated with the cookies manager that the page did someting that is not normal. You could unpack the *.dtd and *.properties files or just activate it and see how it does mark.

I've never used it either, but in English I would expect the term 'Flag' to give a visual or audio warning.
Yes, I think that "Flag" is (or must be) a warning message/dialog about the cookie.
I think that we must replaced this term by "Warning".
Someone can try to verify it?

In Netscape a "flag" was the equivalent of "leashing" in IE6. Essentially, it deals with third party cookies on a webpage. Some of these may not be desirable while others are fine depending on the privacy policy for a webpage. In Netscape a little icon appeared in the right corner of the browser as a "flag" at which point you could choose to accept or not accept the cookie.
Exactly. This option means that you should get a visual indication that a cookie has been set. However, this visual indication (status bar icon) has not been implemented yet in KM (except I've missed it).
