Cookies by the hundreds.
I have found on my system Firefox (57.0.2) is getting hundreds of tracking cookies. Found with SAS.
It doesn't happen with Windows 7.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Use in-private browsing at least they will not be retained and deleted on exit.
Hi,
Bing I believe installs more cookies :)
Duck duck go is a better test
Hi,
Yep Bing is just as bad if not worse :)
Gives a little taste of win-10 is too
Well Firefox and Google don't do it on Windows 7.
I just checked my Windows 7 computer, which I have been on line for a hour or so and SAS didn't find any tracking cookies.
I also use Firefox and Google on the Windows 7 computer.
I will compare setting and see if I can find any difference.

I have use Super Anti Spyware for years and have never had a problem with it.
Using Windows 7, for a month and don't get 2 or 3 tracking cookies.
I go to many more different sites on the 7 computer than I do on the 10 computer.
The only thing different is the operating system. I don't really understand how that would make a difference.
I'm going to do a scan with Eset Online Scanner and see if it tells me anything.
In one hour I got 351 of these.
Using Firefox (57.0.2) and Google.
Here is a short list.
Memory items scanned : 856
Memory items detected : 0
Registry items scanned : 56747
Registry items detected : 0
File items scanned : 8966
File items detected : 351
