Every time you visit a site then a tracking cookie can appear in your PC - so if you remove it and then visit the site again (or another one) it will be back:)

swannie,
I suppose that phirin meant the following:
Having Cookie Guard enable SD should clean those cookies automatically, but it does not and find them only on-demand scan.
That was the question.

This has come up a few times before and the reason why this happens is because cookie guard has like a 30 sec interval to removing cookies. If you visit a website and perform a scan in that time, it will pick up the cookies during a scan.

katie,
I am completely agree with you.
Sometimes it happens to me, because I probably surf in internet too fast D) and SD cannot reach the same speed of cleaning like I surf ha-ha-ha
