I run Spybot every day and almost every day CasalaSale and Zedo turn up as having left tracking cookies on the computer. Is there a simple way to block these groups, other than blocking all cookies?

If you use 'Firefox' browser, you can enter specifically under 'Tools->options->exceptions' which URLs you do NOT want to accept cookies from.

Thanks Brian - I've blocked Zedo but that can always be changed.
