After deleting cookies they reappear faster than I can delete. Under Firefox Menu > Options > Privacy > History > (Accept cookies from sites) Show Cookies; there is a lot of cookies that simply persist any attempt to be deleted. How do I get rid of them, is it because of an Add-on that they are installed permanently? If the cause is indeed an Add-on, how can I find it? Is it possible that Add-ons or Firefox itself installs cookies or other spyware, even hiding them?

hello, i think one of your privacy related addons (probably PrivacyChoice TrackerBlock 2.2) will rewrite the opt-out cookies for various ad/tracking networks. this is the intended behaviour of such addons...

Dear Philipp. Thank you for your quick reply.

I just removed PrivacyChoice TrackerBlock 2.2 Add-on from www.avg.com (the company behind http://www.privacychoice.org) and I was able to delete all cookies with no problems at all. So now it works as it should.

Again - thank you so much for your kind help.
