All cookies cleared!

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 but should this cookie be deleted after each log out?

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.

Cookies are the only thing that make me feel wanted these days.

...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 ?
Cheers

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.

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