Please tell me how you created that list.
Thanks.

I used one of the features of Avast Free Anti-virus which includes a
cookie viewer and manager. The actual list was manually created with
cut-n-paste.

I'm using Windoze 7, Firefox 68.0.1, and Avast 19.6.2383. After
logging into the Mouser web site, the Avast extension to Firefox shows
10 "security issues" on the Mouser home page. As I browse through
other Mouser pages, this number will go up and down. Here's what it
looks like:

Installing a virus scanner just to track cookies is overkill. Your
usenet news header shows that you're using Firefox 52, which is rather
ancient. I think it's possible to find a cookie manager or viewer
extension for Firefox 52, but I don't want to attempt it. There are
plenty of possibles, but many show a minimum Firefox version much
higher than Firefox 52.

Good luck.

I found an easier way that might work with Firefox 52 and not require
installing an extension. Go to the Mouser web site. To the left of
the URL in the address box is a small letter "i" with a circle around
it. Click on it. A window should open which offers a list of
Trackers and Cookies.

If you wait a few seconds, a new item will appear at the bottom of
this window offering to "Clear Cookies and Site Data". This is handy
for vaporizing the cookies of sites that off a few free views per
month, but then demand a subscription. You can also clear cookies for
a specific site at:
Tools -> Page Info -> Security -> Clear Cookies and Site Data

I'd like to figure out how to get rid of the tracking I encounter on my Android phone through the Google News. I assume that is simply running some aspect of Chrome, so I've tried deleting all cookies in Chrome, but that doesn't do it. Any idea of how to clear the Google News cookies? A search only returns hits on clearing Chrome.

Use something other than a Google product wherever possible and
encourage others as well?
