How to Track Cookies With AVG
Tracking cookies are simple text files that advertising websites place on your computer to trace your browsing tendencies and display advertisements on your web browser. They have the ability to install on your web server without your visiting the cookies' host site. Although tracking cookies are not malicious viruses, they can be annoying, with frequent pop-ups that slow browser speeds. Using AVG Antivirus, a powerful easy-to-use security tool, you can trace and remove tracking cookies, such as ad.yieldmanager, from your computer.
