Each evening my system is scanned using AVG 2011. The following morning I check my virus vault and find at least one tracking cookie. I downloaded the Tracker block add on and I still get the tracking cookies.

Because of the variety of methods that tracking companies use to write cookies, there's no 100% effective solution. None of available addons (including TrackerBlock, AdBlock and Ghostesry) block all tracking cookies all the time. But if you want to limit tracking, you're still at least 90% better with TrackerBlock installed.

Thank you very much. However, I am assuming from your reply that no setup is required, is this correct?

Yes, you are correct. The only setup required is that you must visit this page:

http://www.privacychoice.org/trackerblock/firefox

and make a selection of which kind of trackers to block. Your selection is immediately effective.

We wanted to keep the process as simple as possible.
