CCleaner Free Version 5.86.9258 Not Removing All Google Chrome Cookies

[PinguJohn]

I have just updated my CCleaner Free to version 5.86.9258

Now when I run Custom Clean it does not remove the following 8 Google Chrome Cookies:-

Cookie: ancensored.co
Cookie: ancensored.com
Cookie: rutracker.or
Cookie: rutracker.org
Cookie: www.mediafire.co
Cookie: www.mediafire.com
Cookie: www.three.co.u
Cookie: www.three.co.uk

No matter how many times I run Custom Clean these 8 Google Chrome Cookies are not removed.

Any help would be appreciated.

You've had a similar issue before.

Try reading again the link I gave there that explains why cookies (and other things) can/will come back after cleaning.
(The first thing I'd look at is do you have Chrome synced. Or have you had it synced at some time in the past?)

TBH the first 3 sites on your list could be considered 'dodgy' websites by many. ie. not exactly safe to visit and/or download things from.
Are you using those sites or have they just appeared?
Either way you may want to run scans with ADWCleaner and Malwarbytes to see if they find any PUPs/PUMs, or anything else of concern, on your machine.

Thanks nukecad for your reply.

As far as I know, I do not have Chrome Synced, and I have never heard of or used any of the first 3 sites.

I have downloaded and run both ADWCleaner and Malwarbytes, and neither of them found anything.

Out of interest, I reinstalled and ran the previous version of CCleaner Free v5.85.9170 and this did not find any of the 8 Google Chrome Cookies.

That may be because Chrome has changed where it saves cookies and 5.85 didn't look at the new location?

I know from my own experience that is the case with Firefox, CCleaner 58.6 can clear some new cookie locations that 5.85 or older didn't look at. (Because cookies weren't put there before).

The browsers keep changing where they put things, CCleaner changes to keep up.

Just why those particular cookies keep coming back for you is another question though.
CCleaner 5.86 is obviously finding them to clear, they just keep coming back after it has cleared them.
Maybe another Google app (rather than Chrome itself) is putting them back?

Hi nukecad,

A friend of mine suggested I try openning Chrome and select More Tools > Clear Browsing Data and clear Browsing History, Cookies and Other Site Data and Cached Images and Files.

This I did and now the new CCleaner Free version 5.86.9258 works OK.

Thanks for your help.

This started happening for me, I posted a new link on the subject. It never happened before.
