I don't think it quite does what people hope. Well, not any more.
Third party cookies are cookies that don't belon

You can use the CookieCuller extension to keep the cookies that you

umm.. no.
it doesn't stop tracking, unless the website you're looking at has

the tracking thing is purely voluntary and happens on the

all the tracking check does is kind of ask the site to now track you!!
no guarantee that won't happen..
