When Cookie Blocking is off, cookies are not blocked.

(If you are using a Junkbuster-style cookie file for backwards-compatibility with the Internet Junkbuster, then that filtering becomes active when Cookie Blocking is off.)

Ad blocking is controlled separately using the Ad Blocking Switch.

Using two Guidescope Menus

The "Ck. Blk is ON/OFF" indicator might not indicate properly on the Guidescope Menu on our home page if you use the Guidescope Menu in the small window on your desktop to turn Cookie Blocking on or off while our home page is displayed. (The Guidescope Menu on your desktop always indicates correctly.) If this happens, reload our home page to make sure that the indicators there are correct.
