Cookie Stumbler eliminates Ad & Tracking cookies and allows you conveniently to maintain only the cookies on your computer which you really want to keep. This eliminates threats to your privacy and helps your web browsers to run faster. It will recognize known Ad/Tracking cookies via definitions which are updated frequently similar to anti-virus software and so far unidentified Ad/tracking cookies via an intelligent heuristics engine, which is built-in. Cookie Stumbler isn't dependent on advertising companies to "allow" users to opt out as some other applications. It does its job independently and it will do so without interfering when you browse the web.
Cookie Stumbler is extremely easy to use. Once you have chosen either one of the default selection criteria such as your bookmarks or history or have put the cookies of some sites which you really want to keep on your 'keep-list', you can run the cleaning process automatically to a schedule which suits your needs. The schedules can be built easily and as customized and flexible as you want them to be. Supporting almost every commonly used browser in the market (currently Safari, Firefox, Chromium, Chrome,Roccat Camino, OmniWeb, Flash) you can use this program either to investigate exactly what websites are storing on your computer or clean it in one click or just let it run without you even remembering to run it. You can even integrate Cookie Stumbler actions into your own workflow by using our Automator Actions. Whatever you chosen workflow might be: Cookie Stumbler will make your Mac more safe and run smoother.

Cookie Stumbler does have an icon in the dock and no, it doesn't constantly run. The only thing that runs in the background is its agent, which launches Cookie Stumbler in schedule mode once your cleaning schedule needs to be executed.
The App Store version is Cookie Stumbler Basic, which is a "basic" version of Cookie Stumbler Standard. They're not the same. For more info on the differences, click here: http://www.writeitstudios.com/index.php?express=yes

"MACUPDATE Happy with Cookie Stumbler? Please take a moment and leave us a rating on Mac Update, it really means a lot to us."
I was under the impression that changelogs were for, well, listing out new features. "Please go leave us positive feedback" is not a "feature" of this product and should not be listed as such...

as you may or may not be aware, MacUpdate updates the change log automatically. As soon as we update our "update feed", they just copy and paste the entire change log, regardless if it makes sense or not.
The MACUPDATE part should really only be visible to people updating because for us it's the best way of reminding customers to leave feedback, so you're right, it shouldn't really be there. Thanks for pointing that out.

Actually, the content on our site is edited by humans, including myself. Sorry that we missed the bit at the bottom last time; we make mistakes. I wanted to assure you that the process is not automated.

on developer's site there's only one product download and two different license types in the "store section"!

this is a result of the MU Promo (2 special discount prices depending on license) and remained this way. There is only one product and two license types, as you correctly point out.

Please see my comments on Ghostery on MUPromo. It is everybodies choice but I personally wouldn't use something that is based on the Advertising Industry policing itself.
On Better Privacy: it is the case as far as I'm aware, that it cleans LSO's once in a while and tries to delete Evercookies. Cookie Stumbler does much more than that. You can always test it for 14 days and delete it if you decide that you don't like it.
