I used to be able to clear only the cookies I wanted off. Now you have to clear everything. How do I get this back

more options

We used to have a spot in Privacy and Security where we could manually delete cookies you did not want. Now if you don't want one web site to track you and see what you are shopping for IE-Walmart, you have to clear everything and re-sign in instead of just getting rid of their cookies. I was able to add this back about two major updates ago, but can't remember how I did it.

Thank you for your help Kim
