Tracking Cookie Alert

[JulianDeMarchi]

Looks like a cloudflare issue, waiting to hear back from them.
Cookie they were setting. Still working on it.

Definately not a cloudfare issue. While going through cloudfare with google ads off, there was no cookie from the offending site. Then this arvo when you were testing the ads, it came back. I'm 100% certain it's a google ad that's serving it. Also - the evercookie won't get flagged by google for malicous site detection. However I can't find any information to back this statement up. It might be worth asking google what their policy on evercookies are?

To help you a bit more. This is the exact URL that luvtrack.net is loading, http://stat.luvtrack.net/click.js. Please only open the link if you have JS disabled. Basically that is the malicous part of the ad that is being served. It loads the other code that installs the tracking cookie. My information, which is all here to read, 100% points to google ad services as the culprit.

Hi Julian,
I'm running the full scan with Bleachbit ( Everything ticked )
Hope it doesn't delete everything

That's awhile. I don't use Windows, so didn't test the tool(but even Microsoft recommends it) was only a help for people. Aussie123 ran it today and inital reports are good.

My pc has been slow for a little while now, so hopefully a fix.

Jullian,

I ran BleachBit today and my pc is running better than it ever has.
Be careful though if you select Free Disc Space.
That consumed my entire hard drive and the pc stopped as I had no disc space left.
I can cancelled the scan and luckily things returned to normal.
I then ran it without that option ticked and also no ticks in the password boxes and then ran the scan and it worked a treat.
It seems to be a very thorough program and cleans parts of your hard drive that other programs don't go near.

Does not appear to be Google at fault. Have been dealing with them for many years and am sure they are not the problem.

Also consider that is a company the size of Google was delivering this type of cookie, do you think you would be the only person in the world to know about it?

You are fine. Just don't listen to every expert on the Internet. No need to block Google ads. No need to block most ads actually. It is the ads that keep sites online. Like this one for the past few years.

So how do we know if we have a problem on our PC's. Do we have to just run Bleachbit or is there something we can do first to confirm if it is required ??

In FF go to preferences, privacy, then click remove individual cookies. In the list presented you can search cookies, look for milf.pornhub and gay.*. If anything liek that is present, then you need to clean.

That was a very cheap shot at me mate after all the help I've given... Your fine technical skills are on display here, so I suggest you don't comment on subjects you don't have a handle on.
