PubServAnnouncement: Watch/clean your Cookies specifically beware of SHITLER Cookies!1

I was startled by a popup at the NY Post website, a full window survey sponsored by a SHITLER outfit. It had NO little "X" to close it, no way to get out of the page except to go Back.

Sure enough, in my Cookies list, there were at least two "DonaldTrump" cookies, one with 3 or 4 embedded cookies and the other with SEVEN.

And, yes, many of them have abbreviated labels, many with no clue as to what they are. The particular SHITLER ones were named "DonaldTrump". The list is alphabetical but some are listed multiply with different letters, like under "n" as "NewYorkTimes" and then under "w" as "www.newyorktimes" but inexplicably (to me) under other beginning letters like "e" or "i" or whatever.

A DUer said that disabling Third Party Cookies keeps only the websites you actually go to and not allowing for the others to pop in?
