SEP 12 Automatically delete tracking cookies and not report
Created: 04 Feb 2013 | 4 comments
We have a reoccuring number of tracking cookies being detected and reported daily by SEP 12. Our policy indicates that all infections must be followed up with a ticket being raised and the issue investigated. Given the number of tracking cookies that are detected. I would like to know if its possible to setup SEP12 to automatically delete tracking cookies and not report them as infections.
Is that possible?

You cannot stop it from being reported, only excluded from scanning

Have a look at this article:
SEP 12.1 detecting tracking cookies as "risk found"
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH172644
As for adding centralized exceptions :
How to add a Centralized Exception for a detection that is not included with Known Security Risk Exceptions in the Centralized Exception Policy.
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH106170
And informational very goo video about tracking cookies:

If it is setup as an exception, would it just ignore tracking cookies all together? I still want them deleted just not reported as an infection.
Yes, excluding would ignore them altogether.
There is no way to turn off the alert for just cookies. It is seen as a risk just as for other malware that is found.
