@cindex cookies
-@item --cookies=on/off
-When set to off, disable the use of cookies. Cookies are a mechanism

@cindex globbing, toggle

This is the opposite of the @samp{--follow-tags} option. To skip
certain @sc{html} tags when recursively looking for documents to download,
specify them in a comma-separated @var{list}.
