    Edge tracking cookies

    I had already done the items you suggested with no apparent effect. Still get up to 600!!! tracking cookies if I don't check for several days.

    Question: Does "block only 3rd party cookies" mean that all first party cookies are accepted? If so, then that explains why so many tracking cookies appear. If that is true then "Do not track" is totally ineffective, and MS MUST allow a cookie managing
    app or provide an option like 8.1 to control which cookies are accepted.

    With edgeadblock, Edge has become a very good browser except for the tracking cookie problem. Please provide a fix ASAP.

    Edge tracking cookies

    I have had the same problem. All these tracking cookies slow down my machine. Edge has gotten to be the best except for this problem.

    I suggest going to Chrome, blocking third party cookies (that's what tracking cookies are) and using SuperAntiApyware (it is the best out there) to scan and remove. Chrome also has a way to add sites to the blocking list if any get through. I do this and
    my machine is faster and tracking free!!

    When Microsoft gets this capability, I will be back, not before.

    Pay attention Microsoft!!

    Edge tracking cookies

    It is quite obvious that the person that answered the question did not actual read the question. Don't suggest everything that the poor guy already said he tried and then just leave him hanging. Tell him where the list for blocking specific cookies is,
