    Blocking specific URLs within websites.


    Is there a way to block certain URLs instead of the whole website in a host file. For example, if I want to block a certain YouTube channel but don’t wanna block the whole YouTube website, is that possible to do in a host file?

    :)

  2. block cookies from specific websites windows 10

    Hi Maxine,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    I will be glad to help you with the issue you have with the computer. I understand the frustration when things don't work the way it should.

    What is the browser you are working on?

    Internet Explorer provides many different ways to control the cookies that are stored on your computer. You can block or allow cookies or you can choose the specific sites that you'll accept cookies from. When you make these sorts of changes, the cookies
    that are already stored on your computer will not be affected. For that reason, you might want to delete the cookies already stored on your computer before following the steps below:

    Block or allow cookies from specific websites


    • Open Internet Explorer. Click on the gear icon on the top right hand corner.

    • Click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.

    • Click the Privacy tab, and then move the slider to a position between the top and bottom so you are not blocking or allowing all cookies.

    • Click Sites.

    • In the Address of website box, type a website address, and then click
      Block or Allow.

      As you type, a list of webpages that you have already visited will be displayed. You can click an item in the list and it will be displayed in the
      Address of website box.

    • Repeat step 5 for each website you want to block or allow. When you are finished, click
      OK.

    • Move the slider back to the position it was originally in, and then click
      OK.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please post in case you have any further issues, we are happy to help you further.

    Thank you.

  4. Blocking specific URLs within websites.

    Query about allowing or blocking specific websites in family safety

    Hello Chin,

    We realize your requirement in this regard.

    Yes, once you unblock a website, your child will be able to access that particular website without any restrictions. You need to block it back, if your child don't want to access it.

    There's a lot of great things to learn about on the Internet, but also lots of things you don't want your kids to stumble on. Turn on web browsing limits if you want to block sites that provide adult content, or to allow or block individual websites or webpages
    by using their web addresses or URLs. For young children, you can set up web browsing limits so they can only visit a small number of sites that you specifically allowed.

    To set up web browsing limits


    • Sign in to
      family on the Microsoft account website
      .

    • Select the child you want to turn on web browsing limits for.

    • Select Web browsing, and switch Block inappropriate websites from
      Off to On.

      Now, adult content is blocked and SafeSearch is on when your child uses the most common search engines.

    • If you want your child to only see websites you've explicitly allowed, check the box next to
      Only see websites on the allowed list.

    To allow or block specific websites


    • Sign in to
      family on the Microsoft account website
      .

    • Select the child you want to turn on web browsing limits for.

    • Select Web browsing.

    • To add a site to their allow list, go to Always allow these and enter the
      URL of a website you want to allow.

    • To add a site to their block list, go to Always block these and enter the
      URL of a website you want to block.

    Keep posted if you require further assistance.
