Facebook

I use CC Cleaner which allows you to choose which cookies to leave and which to delete on shut-down or when you run it. I also have browsers set not to retain history. There appears to be a lot of paranoia about internet privacy, but you probably spread as much if not more information about yourself with store/loyalty cards. I'm happy to use Facebook, but I don't have a store card.

I don't use store cards. I try to withdraw money once every few days and spend that in shops rather than using my debit card.
The problem with super cookies is that you will (and so do programs like CC Cleaner) find it almost impossible to delete them.
Also another problem I have is the fact that they take space on your harddrive without your permission.

Superantispyware is a very good cleaner of crap. Run mine every so often.

CC Cleaner claims it does remove them.Checking this pc, it seems to work as I only have two supercookies, which are those I've allowed.
