   Hi
   
   No tracking cookies are a way of life if you wish to surf the internet, they are harmless and yes you can delete them if you wish but the next time you surf a site they will be re-created.

   Some malware scanners flag these up as harmful, but they are just scaring the user in reality in trying to make users believe their software is picking up alot of harmful items to boost their detection rates.
