Lloyds TSB Cookies

I have been unable to login to LloydsTSB, without selecting the "Allow Session Cookies" check box (Tools..Internet Options..Privacy...Advanced) since IE7 was installed. I rang Lloyds help desk and was told that they hadn't done any testing on IE7 so couldn't solve the problem. Fact is I use a program called CookiePal to control cookies. Anyway I seem to have resolved the problem by adding mi.lloydstsb.com as an acceptable cookie in the CookiePal program. What surprised me is the number of "non" lloyds cookies that are offered during login. I don't expect my bank to force unwanted ad-cookies onto my system.
