I just checked my cookies... no sign of imrworldwide...

I have "accept cookies from the originating site only" turned on in my browser, but that wouldn't block the image-based ones...

So, I then thought of my ad zapper (it integrates into squid. available at: http://adzapper.sourceforge.net/)...
I grepped it, and, sure enough it's blocking it, and apparently is doing it perfectly!

I should have mentioned that I just have Ad Zapper blocking banners and other annoying images... It does not do any actual cookie filtering, nor does squid.

But, as it blocks the "web bugs", the cookies are never downloaded. :)
