More control over cookies

I would like to be able to set up Safari so that it does not accept cookies from certain websites (that I specify), or only accepts cookies from certain websites (that I specify). In other words, I would like to use cookies for certain websites I go to, but not others. Is there any way to do this in Safari (or some other browser)?

MacBook, Mac Mini 1.42GHz, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

[Firefox|www.mozilla.com] and [Camino|www.caminobrowser.org] can both do this.

Safari cannot do it natively, but there are some third party extensions that can add to Safari's abilities, such as:

Hi

Safari Cookies still retains some significant bugs, which the developer intends to work out soon. For example, removed cookies have a tendency to reappear unless you quit Safari immediately after the removal. The other is "unexpected crashes".

Certainly a step in the right direction as an effective Cookies manager has been missing from Safari 3+ on the Leopard Platform.
