How to find a particular cookie?

I'm having an issue with the LA Times website. I don't normally use it that often, but during March I kept getting directed there via Google for news updates, and I apparently overstayed my welcome, as it started displaying a popup saying my "monthly free limit" of visits had been exceeded and asking me to pay for a subscription. Well, I don't usually visit them very often so a subscription makes no sense. Ergo, I figured I'd just wait until April and the problem would solve itself when the "max monthly free visits" or whatever reset.
Unfortunately when April came I still found myself staring down the damned subscription popup.
So I went to my cookies and deleted the "latimes" cookies -- and yet the popup persisted.
I downloaded and installed Chrome to see what would happen, and using Chrome I can visit the LA Times web site without a problem and read news articles. Ergo, whatever is causing the "pay up!" popup resides in my Firefox cookies SOMEWHERE. I just don't know where!
I don't really want to delete ALL my cookies -- they do some useful things -- so what I really want is to figure out exactly how the LA Times is determining how many visits I've made to their site and get rid of that cookie. They can't be just tracking my ISP address or I'd still be getting blocked when I use Chrome.
How can I find out what cookie is causing the problem? Also, is there a way to keep the LA Times from tracking this data in the future? It's not that I want to cheat them of their rightful revenue, it's just that I really don't use their site that often (or I'd pay for it). I assume they have an interest in my viewing their ads or they wouldn't offer any free page views at all.
An alternative solution would be to somehow tell Google that I don't want it to display any search results it gets that point me to the LA Times so that I don't have to deal with that obnoxious popup when I click to get a news story. I'm perfectly okay with simply not visiting the LA Times for my news but I rarely have the awareness to notice that I'm clicking on an LA Times link before I've gone ahead and clicked on it. I realize this isn't the place to ask that question but if by random chance someone happens to know how to do that instead, that would be great.

Yeah, that was the first thing I did -- I got rid of the "latimes" and "latimesblog" cookie folders, but it didn't solve the problem at all. This is why I'm thinking it's a hidden or inobvious cookie that the site is somehow using to track my visits. Is there any way to actually SEE when a website is writing a cookie and what cookies it's writing?

    Hello COTI
    Unfortunatly, SAP MDM doesn't have good ability for  WF search.
    All WF clarify by it's status (unlaunched, avialable, Received, complited, error  etc.)
    For each WF SAP MDM assing unique Job ID and this id will be shown in Job ID field in Data Manager WF Tab.
    You can change WF list order by all WF fields like as Job ID, Step, User, Start etc. and try to find your's WF.
    You can use Java API - this is one of the best solution for WF management and WF mass upload  (for example)

  • How to find out particular work item is trigger by particular transaction

    Hi,
    can any one tell how to find out particular work item is trigger by particular transaction. in swfrevtlog we ill get custom obj type and also super business obj type,but i need to identify this work item id is triggered by this transaction. can any one help,
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Sorry, but I don't believe that's possible. Even if you can identify the program, there could be multiple transactions that executed it.
    The only possible way, I think, would be to add an enhancement / badi which uses the callstack to determine the calling transaction at the time he event is raised (and then stores it somewhere).
    But that's not very elegant.
    Why do you need to know the triggering transaction? To influence the workflow? If so, another approach might be this:  pass the transaction code as an additional parameter to the workflow event & then pass that to the workflow.
    cheers
