If you are a Firefox user, there is a free Add-On called “Ghostery”, works very well in blocking these types of creepy tracking schemes.

“Flash & Silverlight Cookies
Also called locally stored objects or LSOs, these cookies are stored in a different location than your normal browser cookies. If enabled, Ghostery will delete cookies from companies in our library when you close Firefox. “

Thanks for the tip on Ghostery. Just downloaded it to my Firefox browser.

Now that I’ve got Ghostery up and running on my FF browser, I keep seeing an alert for Google Analytics while perusing FR. I don’t know enough about Google Analytics to choose whether to block it or not. Your thoughts?

I added Ghostery plug-in.

Will soon see how useful it is.
