$_SESSION[] and ZoneAlarm Firewall

[h4x0rmx]

I have a problem with a project that I'm working on, well, it might not be exactly a problem.
This is what happens, I use the global $_SESSION for (obviously) managing sessions on my application, the thing is that I think that ZoneAlarm keeps on blocking the session's cookie when working on localhost, when I upload the project I have to modify my ZoneAlarm's settings to allow 3rd party cookies for that domain and it works correctly: I can loggin to the site. When I try to do this on localhost I can't loggin, so I allways have to quit ZoneAlarm, does anybody know how can I use localhost's sessions without closing my firewall?
Any help will be really appreciated! 😃

Haven't used Zonealarm in a while, but isn't there a way you can set up a rule in it to allow 127.0.0.1 traffic

Thanx!
Haven't been able to get a rule working, but gonna keep trying.
Any other suggestions?

Yes change your firewall 😃
Seriously I used to use Zonealarm and got tired of it's clashes with other software, I now use Kerio and setting up a rule takes less than a minute.

Well, I've found that if you the Cookie control under privacy it lets you work with sessions!
