I want to be able to have all cookies rejected without confirmation,
except those coming from sites on my whitelist, which shall be accepted
without confirmation.

This is already possible.

Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Cookies -> uncheck "enable cookies", add the ones
you do want to allow in the exceptions list, IIRC.

If this works for you, please mark this as worksforme

Yes, it works.  Great.

I marked the bug as WORKSFORME.  Sorry for wasting your time.

Oh, by the way, what about documentating that feature?  E.g., you could add the
following text to the Exceptions-dialog: "Cookies from sites marked as 'Allow'
will be accepted even if you did not enable cookies."

Cookies UI needs some work, which is planned before 1.0
