only the ZoneAlarm Pro suite has the cookie and .js filtering.  and of 
course that can be configured away.  most everyone i know who uses ZA 
chooses the freeware version, which is actually the best piece of the 
suite.  it's useful even when a 'real' firewall is in place as it 
monitors outbound traffic on a per process level.  it even recogizes 
when changes are made to binaries of connection-permitted software.

highly recommended.  (though you may need to set up the initial 
permissions for the parent's e-mail client and browser).

best when used with a good A/V solution and reasonably secure 
software.have you tried Mozilla? very few incoming alerts when used in 
conjunction with a firewall/router/NAT/switch type of device.

this setup, minus the network device, easily passed the Mom Test for me.
