Thanks for your advice, but I have tried deny only one before as follow with no
luck.

anonymize_headers deny From Referer Server

Is it anonymize_headers the only place to control cookies in squid?

You might want to add the Cookie header to that list to enable the use
of Cookie based logins... (almost all where you get a HTML form for the
login instead of the standard login popup).

An you should know that careless use of anonymization features will
break some web sites making use of
a) Browser type (to select IE or Netscape type of pages)
b) Cookies (for logins, sessions and similar things)
c) Content negotiation (similar to a, but more on preferred file types)
d) Language negoitation (similar to a, but to select your preferred
language)

Often it is easier to deny the few headers that you do not want to have
than to allow the ones you want.
