| 1408542 | 2015-09-19 06:28:00 | I have just run Superantispyware and have as a result deleted 345 tracking cookies ! What a huge number. Once upon a time it might have been over 100, but a month or two back it was about 230. Are these tracking cookies increasing ? I must admit I quickly scan about seven international newspapers plus Facebook and google various photographic techniques etc. This has probably changed in that I tend to view more sites to keep abreast (can I say that word ??). What is your experience please ? Jim |

| 1408546 | 2015-09-20 21:19:00 | Thanks guys, also nice to hear from you pctek - remember a lunch a group of us from PressF1 had in a foodhall in Queen St. I will try Ghostery, and will see if it is intrusive. The tracking cookies don't really worry me, except, as I understand it, they eat into your bandwidth. 345 of them would I surmise slow down my browsing. Will also test out settings in Firefox as suggested. |

| 1408550 | 2015-09-21 06:35:00 | I like this Firefox addon to handle cookies: addons.mozilla.org Thanks zquerty - I have had a quick look, and will do so again. Got to make sure that I don't get rid of cookies that recognise you so you don't have to login, like for my home page - NZ City. :-D |
