Windows 7, Firefox 10.0.2, using Ghostery and Better Privacy addons. Despite blocking cookies, removing cookies, when I check I still see a long list of cookies with long life expiration dates. How do I get rid of them?
Options/Privacy/Cookies delete all cookies. All there upon restart. Can these be removed? I am using Ghostery and Better Privacy and Do Not Track Plus

You may have installed an extension like TACO (Abine) or TrackerBlock that maintains a set of OPT-OUT cookies.
- Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out (TACO): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/targeted-advertising-cookie-op/
- TrackerBlock: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/trackerblock/
- Beef Taco (Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/beef-taco-targeted-advertising/
In that case you need to uninstall the extension to remove those opt-out cookies.

Thank you for Cor-el for your response. The extension that I installed, Do Not Track + (Albine), apparently was the reason for the long list of cookies. I guess the next thing for me to do is learn about opt-out cookies.
