Calmat, I will be here for you. Dont be afraid to ask questions or give suggestions. That is why the Forum is here.

 

[richc46]

I wanted to make sure that you understand something. The cookies that you want to save are the good cookies. There are also bad cookies and that is why we want to delete them. Some are know as trakcing cookies, they follow you from site to site and then you may get pop up advertisments based upon what they think that you like.
Bottom line, we want to get rid of cookies, but keep the good ones.

The bad ones are privacy concerns and can cause problems.

First if they do not delete, you did not check cookies, look at the screen shot that I sent you. If it is checked then right after you clean go and look right then, they should be gone. Every time you go to the websites that give cookies they give them again. You may want to use Ccleaner once every couple of days, I do.
All you have to do is right click, as I told you, before you delete, this will save all the cookies that you use on a regular basis; this forum, facebook, your bank, etc.
Then look at the cookies in the left box. If you see names that you recognize and want to keep, just send them over to the right side. If you don't there is no problem, they will just be given to you again the next time you go to the site.
I just keep the cookies from sites that I need to sign in etc.

I meant this screen shot.

 

[calmat]

sorry i know what you mean now. Yes I have this box ticked but their are eleven cookies that i dont want which i cannot remove. If you look at the link that i sent
you will see them.

are they worth worrying about

calmat

 

[richc46]

Run CC then go look at the cookies again, I bet they are gone. They return when you visit the site that gives them to you.
If Im wrong let me know.

 

[calmat]

I have just run ccleaner again, all cookies disappear except for the same ten which are always there

calmat

 

[richc46]

I am asuming that those are cookies put there by you software. Lets see
Make a clean boot.
Run ccleaner and see if they are still there.
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

If they are still there, I will give you software that will remove everything; but ALL cookies will be gone.
I saw one cookie that I did not like.
Dont recognize all of them

 

[calmat]

done the clean reboot and then used ccleaner but they are still there

calmat

 

[richc46]

OK
I have something that should remove all of them
Are you willing to lose all of your cookies. This is not a problem, but you have to be sure that you know all your ID s and passwords, so you can sign in once more and get new cookies. What do you want to do?

 

[calmat]

yes i do no all of my passwords and ID


calmat

 

[richc46]

This WILL remove ALL of your cookies good or bad.
You will have to sign in once again to all your favorite sites, etc. But once that is done the cookies will be back.
Use this clean up even more files and cookies. This is great.
After you use this and you dont mind signing in once more. Use CC once a week and this once every 3 months. You can use this every month for even better clean up, but then the cookies will disappear, again.
