   I'm a firefox user with all cookies blocked (I do allow some).  Downloaded   
   Super Anti-spyware free edition which showed I was getting some trackers.   
   In addition, I use Ghostery, and was using one other blocker, but was still   
   getting them.  No adjustment of settings (do not track me) helped.   
      
   Downloaded and intalled Comodo Internet Security (Firewall, AV,   
   anti-malware) which was a free edition.  Since then, running SAS shows no   
   trackers.
