how do I know that I am not being tracked for marketing or ads, using an extension?
with your taco ad on how do I know that I am not being tracked or marketed or just being loaded with more cookies, that I do not want? I want all of these cookies gone and off of my computer. I do not want any cookies of any type and try to clean them ALL out on a regular basis.

- After install, set your options Tools > Add-ons, click on Ghostery, click Options or left-click the "ghost" icon in the Status Bar, click Options.
