Moderators Andavari Posted October 31, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 31, 2010 I've seen adserver opt-out's before like for Doubleclick, etc., however if they're blocked in your HOSTS file there's no need to even bother letting them cookie you with instructions not to track you. I'd personally rather trust the HOSTS file over them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwillener Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 If I understand this correctly (http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/faqs.asp#question_9), you would need to exempt that cookie (http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/faqs.asp#question_11) from being deleted by CCleaner. Otherwise the "opt-out" would be deleted each time your run CCleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwillener Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 you would need to exempt that cookie ... It's not one cookie, it's a cookie for every company in that list! I just tried it, and it created about 100 cookies. Needless to say, I will not exempt any of these, and continue to clean cookies with CCleaner.

Moderators Nergal Posted November 2, 2010 Moderators Share Posted November 2, 2010 yeah, this seems fairly simlar to the BeefTaco and Taco add-ons for firefox in that they create the opt out cookie for each opt-out-able site ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
