I have an older macbook pro running on OS X and just had a question about cookies. I have sophos antivirus, Glimmerblocker, and safari adblock but I have noticed, over the past month and a half, that certain sites on safari will run slow, especially youtube. When this occurs I go to Safari>Preferences and I always find 90-150 cookies. I'll delete the cookies, empty the cache, and restart safari. When it's restarted youtube works fine and the cookies are gone, however within about 30 minutes the majority of the cookies are back, even ones from sites that I haven't visited again. I have tried changing the preferences to always block cookies, but it did not have any affect. I didn't have a problem with this until a software update a few months ago. I don't know if the problem is a youtube or google one, and other sites do not usually run slow, but it bothers me that cookies will randomly appear. Maybe this is normal, but seeing as I'm not the most tech savy person I thought I'd ask. Thanks!
