How to delete internet cookies??

[tom982]

When you go to a site all sites that advertise or link to that site will try to give you their cookie as well as the site you actually go to

ilikefree, thank you. What if I go to a site and 30 sites link to it, so my data will be seen by these 30 sites + that 1 site, right? This seems as privacy violation.

That depends on the type of cookie and the website. I wouldn't worry about it as long as you use CCleaner regularly (once a day at most) and have a good spyware program just in case ccleaner misses something.

Yes, some sites do violate privacy but there's not a lot you can do about it really

Yes they will because you gave them permission when you ticked allow third party cookies.CCleaner will let you select which cookies you want to keep.
Better Privacy,a Firefox add-on will delete DOM and LSO supercookies that will be loaded onto your computer every time you use Adobe Flash Player.
Tom your understanding is not quite correct if you think you only have to do that once.
Better Privacy will be in the tools menu after you install it. My version has removed 689 Supercookies in the last 4 months.

Yes, perhaps I should have made myself clearer. What I meant to say is that the more times you run ccleaner the better but if you do it once per day, you will prevent a build up of cookies and temporary files.

689 supercookies That's quite a lot

That was the hidden cookie count not the total. I delete with CCleaner daily. :eek:

tom982 and ilikefree, thanks guys
I think I start to understand some Internet cookie aspects..

ilikefree, LSO supercookies is the same thing as flash cookies, right?
tom982, I hope that some sites do violate privacy but who can tell that there are no tons of such nasty web sites?

They are flash cookies but differ from normal cookies in that the amount of data they can store is unlimited and delete cookies settings in Firefox,Internet Explorer won't remove them.
Google has an advertising opt. out cookie that you may want to get and keep. (no more doubleclick).
It is in your Google settings page if you have GMail or on their site and quite hard to find.If you are interested I will show you where it is.
The Better Privacy add on I have in Firefox has deleted 14 LSO cookies since 2nd August automatically and I have not noticed anything strange, All sites I go to load OK, Passwords and automatic log on to forums work fine.

Just as a matter of interest this is the count to date so far.

tnx all

I've noticed that if you delete all cookies, after that you have to enter your log-in details again.

Flash cookies and DOM cookies? What are they?

Mil Shield and CCleaner keep some cookies? Right?

I have used other cleaners but Mil Shield (its page: Delete cookies, history, cache and Index.dat files with Mil Shield 7.6 ) has the edge in that it covers a variety of things, including DOM cookies. It has become an everyday part of my tech life and has never left my PC.

DOM Storage (cookies) occupies significantly more disk space than HTTP cookies. In Internet Explorer, HTTP cookies can store only 4 kilobytes (KB) of data. By comparison, DOM Storage provides roughly 10 megabytes (MB) for each storage area.

X32, it is true.I'm still testing some programs mentioned here.
