We are all familiar with that line after logging out but....

No they are not!

The prrune.org cookie remains and contains utma through utmz.

I've been here (http://www.morevisibility.com/analyticsblog/from-__utma-to-__utmz-google-analytics-cookies.html) but should this cookie be deleted after each log out?

After visiting proon I ***always*** do a manual Clear All Cookies.

Those cookies may just be "time of last visit", for showing new posts in bold. I get everything in, um, non-bold at startup nowadays.

Tell that to the obese 'kitchen raiders' who can't keep their fingers out of the cookie jar ;)

...Non-bold doesn't bother me, but I'm taking mike-msm's advice till I know
whether or not I should keep the cookie concerned.

Milo I've already got a program (Better Privacy) that only deletes the more
militant so-called "LSO" cookies - so I dunno if I should download Ghostery
- will there be a clash?

Thanks for your replies so far.

Milo - when attempting to d/l Ghostery for Firefox, Firefox prevented installation of this software. I assume that is just like the Gov't hating to allow you control over your own affairs ?

I run both Better Privacy and Ghostery together, and no apparent problems. What can sometimes cause an issue is if you also turn on Firefox's native "no track" option - that can allegedly slow the browser, though I've never seen it.

SeldomFixIt
For Firefox it probably easier to download it via the Firefox plugins page from within the browser.
