Windows 10: Bing cookies magicly appears on my PC

Hi.I noticed that, even when I do not open any web browser, and even if I try to block cookies and other trackers, there's always BING cookies that appears on my computer... Since I choose to not allow cookies, why does Microsoft ignore my choice, and where does these cookies come from ?Bing is not my search browser, I do not use Windows search engine or Cortana which is supose to be disabled and softwares are not allowed to run in background.... Thank you.

:)

 

The Case of the Mysterious Cookies!

I'm hoping that the experts that browse these pages can help. I'm running Windows 10 ver 1903. I use Firefox 68 for browsing and my default search engine is Google. Despite MS's best efforts I do not use Edge, nor do I use Bing.

Even though I do not use Edge or Bing, cookies from Bing seem to appear in the list of cookies that are reported in CCleaner.

When I use Firefox's Clear Data feature (in aboutreferences#privacy / Cookies and Site Data) these Bing cookies are left behind. I conclude that these cookies are not being collected by F/Fox but that some process(es)
are putting Bing cookies on my computer, and that these are not generated through my Firefox/Google browsing combo.

Any ideas what's generating these Bing cookies, and how it can be stopped? Incidentally this cookie thing is not constrained just to a single Win 10 computer; it's happening on all 4 Windows 10 ver 1903 systems in our household.

These are examples of the cookies:

bing.com

login.live.com

www.bing.com

www2.bing.com

Grateful thanks
