  • @skiffy08 Yes u can. Go to tools, internet options, privacy, sites, then u type in the name of the tracking cookie, like Adbrite (.) com. without the (). Then click block. U will never get that cookie again. If u just remove the cookies they will come back the next time u go to the site. I've blocked about 300. I get a new one about every week or two. I get the cookies names from Comcast toobar, I run Comcast Pest Control, it names the cookies then I type them in, and block them.

  • @skiffy08 me to

  • So yeah wat does the tracking do to your computer?

  • is this how some people can hack world of warcraft accounts?

  • Chris Pirillo is not a knowledgeable person when it comes to hardware architecture and software principles (like cookies). His knowledge is very shallow and simplistic.

    Chris Pirillo, you shouldn't have an opinion on cookies. You do not know what they are, how they work, and what they are capable of.

    Keep being one of those "geeks" who are also hip, cool, and sociable, like those guys at G4. You're much better at that. Talk about iPhone and iPad. Stay away from computer science.

  • my freaking comoputer is always getting cookies....fucking fatass

  • how do you turn of tracking cookies

  • @jebug29 how?

  • @blueleafdown Um, well, depends on the browser... in IE, just go to the status bar, and where it says Internet|Protected mode on, double click it and then it's easy to figure out.

  • @jebug29 did you just delete the cookies under "browsing history"?

  • @blueleafdown hm? Oh, I just changed avg's settings to scan for tracking cookies and scan whole pc. But it u use windows xp, you can press run type cookies and delete them. Or just delete with browsing history. I thought u meant how i changed to medium high.

  • Info from Norton:

    Tracking cookies are not harmful like malware, worms, or viruses, but they can be a privacy concern. As an example, if you go to a Web site that hosts online advertising from a third-party vendor, the third-party vendor can place a cookie on your computer. If another Web site also has advertisements from the third-party vendor, then that vendor knows you have visited both Web sites.

  • mmmmmmm cookie lol

  • I know how to get rid of cookies withoutscans. COOKIE MONSTER!

  • where do you film this? I'm intrigued; it's like a lair, How did you set it up, it's so cool, Is it in a basement or a big big truck?

    thank you for your time,

    enjoyed watching your informative animated delivery. I now understand how to my essay much better. Cheers, you are a good teacher, but i a good way.

    GOt to go do the conclusion now,

    ta

  • just get Ad-Aware and should be fine

  • I used Ad-Aware today and it found holy damn 114 of these cookies!!!! It also found 3 files called MRU Object, What is that??? Is it dangerous???

  • MRU - Most Recently Used, those are just lists that record what you did well.. recently haha, they are harmless but for privacy is better to delete them

  • Thanx for the info. And well, All the cookies and that MRU Object actualy did go in the "Privacy Threats" Folder, Does that mean that it might let a third party see what i'm doing? Or what? Never the less, Are 114 Cookies harmfull if they are many?

  • Im not really sure but is better for you to delete them :P, no they are not harmful, just annoying because they can appear random pop-ups. not really "see", they just keep track of what you do and what you type, but safe to delete no harm at all and 114 cookies is because is like 1-2 cookies per site you visited thats why there are alot but just delete them and all will be fine. :)

  • Ok, Well, If they can see what i type, Does that mean that the cookies can see what i type in my E-Mails? Or when i type in a password?

  • They can't see wht you type. Only if what you type is sent to a website and that website stores what you typed in a cookie and then stores that information in your cookies folder.

    I think tracking cookies are almost the same as if you own 10 websites, and you can with your "tracking cookie" see which of those websites a user has been on.

  • i dont get it. my norton tells me in his scan that it found a trackin cookie and has deleted it buuttt the thing is dat each time i run a scan it doesn da same thing, it allways finds a tracing cookie and delets it, i dont get it is it bad?

  • happens to me

  • NOW I WANT A PLATE OF THEM! LOL! :D

  • 1:58 Cookies give me diahreeah too D: lol

  • avg free has scanned a lot of these tracking cookies on my laptop!!

  • Same with me!

  • do you think you'll eva get laid? dork boy

  • I hate cookies because I feel that marketers are getting research data (for free), and I am getting zilch! Youtube has tons of third party cookies like ebay, and other major companies. If you block enough of them, you can not sign into youtube. It is a sneaky, underhanded business practice.

  • its true. but you need to know that YouTube has to make money. Of course it is free to use youtube, but if they don't have enough money to maintain the site, maybe the next time you upload a video you'll have to pay a penny...

  • chocoalte chip is my favorite.

  • LOL

  • COOKIES ARE DELICIOUS LOL

  • this guy is smart as fuck!

  • LULZ. we can edit your cookies through exploits. therefore they can be bad when put into the wrong hands and depending on how long the session is to get the saved passwords. LULZ. but in most cases. definition=A message given to a Web browser by a Web server. The browser stores the message in a text file. The message is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server.
