I am still getting these tracking cookies..any clues why?

I don't know a very effective cookie management/blocker for Chrome like there are for IE/FF

Sorry but this hitman pro making a big deal out of nothing. These look like nothing other than bog standard cookies, from the sites that you visited. If they aren't sites that you visited then you haven't blocked 3rd party cookies as we suggested or you haven't cleared the cookies after having changed the 3rd party cookies option.

You really are wasting your time being concerned with this low level cr*p.

These are cookies from Ads showing in other sites, is it 3rd or not? ??? (also this not Chrome location, FF and IE seems has not been set for that)

Yes, they are ad related sites yeildmanager and atdmt and that is why I got on about 3rd party cookies option as it would be rather unusual to actually visit these sites.

If Yezinki didn't visit the sites, then as I said they are either old cookies or Yezinki hasn't applied the 3rd party cookie suggestion to all browsers as we mentioned. Only Yezinki can answers any of the above.

Yes, but as Omid said, that is only chrome, you have to do the same in the other browsers you use.

Also were these old cookies and were they related to chrome that were found, given the location Omid doesn't think they a\re for chrome ?

Spyware blaster has no option for Chrome.

That location belong to Microsoft Windows itself, maybe IE or something IE based loaded them, like ads in Windows Live Messenger or Yahoo Messenger. Since that is based on IE, I think SpywareBlaster will take care of it. HostsMan can help by blocking Ads domain too (so will affect Chrome too ;) )

I did not said it affect chrome... I said HostsMan will affect while traffic (and Chrome too).
I said SpywareBlaster will affect IE and IE based stuff like Ads inside Yahoo Messenger and Live Messenger.
