How Do I Get Rid Of Tracking Cookies

First of all relax, cause cookies are almost always not dangerous. There are software that clean cookies, or you can do it manually. I personally use both methods.

First of all cookies are installed from certain type of websites. Your web browser like IE or Mozilla deletes cookies. In Mozilla you Click on Tools in the menu, then select Click Private Data. However first go to Tools Options, then click on Privacy Tab. At the bottom click on Settings and mark all box with a Tick Mark.

Please note that if you are for example logged in Yahoo Mail and you delete cookies - you may be automatically logged out. This does not only happen with Yahoo Mail but with all websites that store cookies on your browser.

These cookies are stored most often in sites where you have to login. Sites that give you an account like Yahoo Mail, Youtube Account, Gmail Account, Paypal account and so on.

So my recommendation is that you clean browser cookies using the manual method when you are not logged into some site. Cause it will log you off automatically and you may loose data.

An example:

If I am creating an email using Gmail (which stores cookies) and I delete cookies then when I hit the Send Button to send the email - I will not be able to send the email. I have to login again to my email account and re write the email again from scratch.

The software that I love to clean cookies is CCleaner. From CCleaner.com

Free download.

However you can also delete cookies but I less recommend this option - is using Windows Disk Cleanup. Less effective however it also cleans Temporary Internet Files and such things.

I use them both, Disk Cleanup and CCleaner software.

I delete cookies using the software once every month and use Disk Cleanup once every two months. However I delete browser cookies manually everyday - before I shut down the computer. The manual method - which I talked previously about is simple. Just click on Tools, then Clear Private Data (if you have Mozilla Firefox). For other web browsers it is almost same thing.

I do not use any History Eraser software. To me they are not useful. Your web browser does clean history. All web browsers do. You simple click Tools, then Create Private Data in Mozilla Firefox and all history will be removed.

History shows the websites you visited. These free history software you see do just the same thing. They clean cookies, temporary internet files, history, cache and things that ccleaner, your web browser and disk cleanup all do. However some companies need to make money so they invent anything possible.

Look at this for example:
http://www.smartprotector.com/eraser/
free-history-eraser.htm

You can see in the features. It removes:

Internet history
Internet Cookies,
Cleans Recycle bins
Temporary Internet Files
Recent documents
... and so on.

Nothing new.

So to recap:

Use Disk Cleanup (once every 2 months)
Use CCleaner software (once every month)
Manually erase all other data using Tools, Clear Private Data in your web browser. (everyday)

You do not need any special software to clean this crap. Ccleaner stands from crap cleaner by the way :) Crap refers to cookies, internet cache, temporary files, history, off line stored webpages and so on. Nothing new, nothing dangerous but just some files that we do not need.

Cleaning these type of files also improves computer performance.
