len22 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I have installed the latest CCleaner it cleaned 177 trackers I then went into Edge and open a few pages, I then went into settings and cleared all cookies etc and set clean on exit of Edge..Then I came back to Cleaner and did the health check, where did 667 trackers come from?? either Edge does not work at removing trackers or CCleaner is find them from somewhere any thoughts??

Moderators nukecad Posted March 4, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 4, 2020 Yes CCleaner will find/clear more of them than Edge will itself. That's because Edge will not clear Microsoft's own cookies, but CCleaner will. As for Trackers they are not what you or I would call 'Trackers', they are a type of cookie called a 'Tracking Cookie'. See here for more of an explanation: *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?
