You might try setting your cookie filter to "display received cookies"
(file/prefs/privacy - first drop down box...).  When the display
received cookie window comes up, you can choose from a drop down menu
that has the following:

Accept, including updates before closing Opera
Accept without changes
Accept, but delete when closing Opera
Accept, but save when closing Opera
Accept all from this server
Refuse cookies from this server
Accept all cookies from this domain
Refuse cookies from this domain

I am not certain, but checking "throw away cookies on exit" may
override "accept, but save when closing Opera" cookie options.

This may be what you are looking for, short of an external cookie
manager or local proxy with cookie handling.
