yes people, that means one have to log back into forums and similar...

If you didn't already know, it's just a text file. In the future, instead of blowing it away you could save some login time by putting something like the following in a script:

Code:
cp ~/.webkitcookies ~/.webkitcookies.old
egrep -i '^[^[:space:]]*(maemo\.org|internettablettalk\.com|google\.com|yahoo\.com)[[:space:]][[:space:]]*(TRUE|FALSE)[[:space:]]' ~/.webkitcookies.old > ~/.webkitcookies
rm ~/.webkitcookies.old
Or you could use it just to clean stuff up.

EDIT:

Here's the inverse:

Code:
cp ~/.webkitcookies ~/.webkitcookies.old
egrep -v -i '^[^[:space:]]*(interclick\.com|advertising\.com|doubleclick\.com|specificclick\.com)[[:space:]][[:space:]]*(TRUE|FALSE)[[:space:]]' ~/.webkitcookies.old > ~/.webkitcookies
rm ~/.webkitcookies.old
