How do you get rid of tracking cookies?

A free download-able program called CCleaner from www.filehipo.com. I have used it for years and it eats tracking cookies for desert.

well if you have internet explorer just go to tools/internet options/delete then under browsing click delete then just check cookies then click delete and there you go

If you want to get rid of all cookies, in Internet explorer go to Tools, Options, browsing history, delete all (including offline info) If you have firefox, you can find an addon called cookie culler, which is pretty good for this. Any browser should you have, CCleaner is an excelent software to get rid of any undesirable temporary trash file on your computer.

If you're using firefox, go to tools, then clear private data. Click on cookies and the click clear private data ;D

If using Internet Explorer go to...TOOLS (upper right-hand corner) then choose internet options then choose delete in browsing history.. In Firefox go to TOOLS (upper-left beside bookmarks) then go to options then choose the privacy tab and select show cookies and it will ask you if you want to delete them... You can also download a FREE program called SUPERantispyware and do either a quick scan or a full scan and it will find all your tracking cookies... GOOD LUCK !!!

you can set your browser settings to delete them the same day.ccleaner will also delete them.but there is no way to keep them from coming back.every time you visit a website you will generate a tracking cookie.many of the top anti-spy programs don't even bother with listing them because they are not dangerous malware.

After you get this lingering cookie issue resolved, take a more defensive posture & keep these jerks out of your system in the first place: Parasite Invasion & System Hostage counter measures. There is, unfortunately, no "1 step, 10 second-fix" everyone would love. Try malwarebytes to clean up your system: http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebytes_Anti-Malware_d5756.html & SpywareBlaster for system wide, realtime protection: http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/security/fwantispy.html Tsunami's of money hungry advertising schemes are sweeping the entire internet. Don't let the battalions of external parasites into your system: stop these guys on the threshold and keep 'em out. These steps will help, but methods (vectors) constantly change. **************** INTERNET EXPLORER: Tools> Internet Options> Privacy> Advanced: here check 'Override automatic....'; 'Allow session cookies'; 'Allow 1st party cookies' & 'Block 3rd Party Cookies'. ** FIREFOX: Tools> Options> Privacy: Check 'Accept Cookies from sites' & Un-Check 'Accept 3rd Party cookies' Firefox add-on's Flashblock: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433 >> "NoScript" for Firefox will stop a lot of these adware/spyware & hijackers; and is the single most important thing you can do to prevent most malware << https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722 Use this feature to block unwanted advertising re-direct: With NS running, down on the far right corner is a blue 'S' with a red line through it: right click that> tick 'forbid -------' &/or mark as 'untrusted'. (Ticking all may reduce interactive behavior; enable just enough to get what's necessary to view the page) *********** Rouge malware and server based spyware are becoming indisitnguishable & may cause multi-symptom effects on your system. And worst of all, this spy/adware, records your clickstream & builds a profile of you with advertising conglomerate jackals. Requires "Opt Out" and requires EVERY browser on EVERY machine be done... Google here: http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html Yahoo here: http://info.yahoo.com/relevantads/ NAI garbage here: http://networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp DoubleClick poison here: http://www.doubleclick.com/privacy/dart_adserving.aspx (List of 64 Yahoo! co-conspirator advertisers they inflict on users are listed here: http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/thirdparties/details.html) When installing ANY new application, check the EULA for 'Toolbars' and/or other crud they try to slip past ya'. **Astonishing news** Get this: the 'New' Yahoo, by default, allows your "Yahoo! Contacts (or Addresses)" computers, to send to whatever 3rd party software they have on THEIR computer, information about you! Can you believe that!!? This is something you must terminate ASAP. Go to your Yahoo! Mail: near the "Welcome (your name)", tick the 'Profile' link; next page, upper right corner, tick 'Settings'; next page, near the bottom is the box to uncheck. And the deterioration of trust with Yahoo! grows...it's pathetic. Good luck. :)

Browzar is based on the Internet Explorer engine, which means it’s such a small file that it only takes seconds to download. We’ve made it disposable; so you have the choice of keeping Browzar on your PC, or downloading it each time you need to protect your privacy. You don’t even need to install it: with Browzar you just click and go… save it to your desktop and use this instead of Internet explorer. http://www.browzar.com/
