Hi everyone, I just ran a scan and Ewido AS found the attached tracking cookies. Now the settings are set to delete them but why do the cookies come back and why aren't they picked up on the fly.

Are these cookies dangerous to my system? What about the cookie named TrackingCookie."Clickbank" : Cleaned.

Thanks for your help

The cookies will come back each time you visit a web site that places them there.

Probably because of the bug mentioned here:
