Description

The current check for v-245539 deletes and registry values in the key at the time the check is run, but does not protect against someone entering a url in the registry or change an existing policy if one exists to enable.

If the value was set to "**delvals." it would set the policy to disabled and delete any values in the reg key.

Group Title: SRG-APP-000080

Rule Title: Session only based cookies must be disabled.

Discussion: Cookies set by pages matching these URL patterns will be limited to the current session, i.e. they will be deleted when the browser exits.

For URLs not covered by the patterns specified here, or for all URLs if this policy is not set, the global default value will be used either from the 'DefaultCookiesSetting' policy, if it is set, or the user's personal configuration otherwise.

Check Text: Universal method:

Windows method:
