Tracking Cookie removal not working

Hi,

I am a Norton 360 user for about 10 years. Today I discover that tracking cookie removal not working. I checked whether the option to check tracking cookie in setting is really enable or not. It is enabled.

 

I again scanned my system for virus and it has found 0 tracking cookie. Then I tried a free utility from Sophos (Hitman-pro) It detected 354 tracking cookies.

 

I than checked with behaviour or other system with Norton 360 installed and same issue.

 

I again surfed web on my laptop again for 1 hour and checked for tracking cookie again Norton detected 0 and hitman-pro this time detected only 27 tracking cookies.

 

It makes me wonder If this feature is working or killed by Norton. If it is killed my Norton, I need to take my business to some other security company.

Some website do not allow login if I disable third party cookie. But i like the idea. (google ad services uses 1st party cookies as advertisement data from last 10 months or so)

But the option in the security software - 360 should work.

This isn't an answer for your problem but maybe a work-around.  If you block third-party cookies in your browsers you will stop nearly all tracking cookies and should not see any negative outcomes.

Just a thought.
