有些反間諜軟體開始嘗試偵測所有它們認為是追蹤用(意指記錄使用者的瀏覽習慣)的第三者cookies. 在大部分的案例, 這是或多或少正確, 因為很多cookies 內含 GUID (Generic Unique Identifier).

與其將我們的偵測資料庫用cookies 灌水, 我們寧可做些調整直接封鎖第三者cookies, 讓它們連門都進不了:

• Internet Explorer: 點選功能列的"工具", 接下來點選 "網際網路選項...". 點選 "隱私權" 標籤, 至少也要將設定提升至 "中" ; 或是直接利用 "進階" 按鈕將 "覆寫自動cookies處理" 啟動, 並設定 "第三方 Cookies" 至 "封鎖". 螢幕快照1 螢幕快照2
• Firefox(火狐狸): Open "Options" from the "Tools" menu. Click the "Privacy" icon, and open the "Cookies" category. Under "Allow sites to set cookies", just set the "for the originating web site only" option.

• Mozilla/Netscape: Open "Preferences..." from the "Edit" menu. Open the category "Privacy & Security" and click on its first entry "Cookies". In the group "Cookie Acceptance Policy", select "Allow cookies for the originating web site only".

• Opera: Open "Preferences" from the "Tools" menu. Click on "Privacy" in the list on the left, then open the pull-down list about "Third party cookies" on the right and set it to "Refuse all cookies".
