DoubleClick is circumventing Ghostery
Try this: clear all cookies, go to http://news.com.au, then check your cookies again. notice that DoubleClick has stored a cookie, despite Ghostery being set to block it.
Keep checking over time, observe that DoubleClick stores multiple cookies (I currently have Channel ID, _drt_, & id) regardless of Ghostery's setting.
LOVE Ghostery (thank you!), but looks like some of the dodgier types have worked out a loophole. eg, I just noticed that Advertising.com has also slipped 2 cookies past Ghostery's block-setting.

greetings dd,
Thanks for using Ghostery!
Are you sure you have all the doubleclick trackers/cookies blocked in your blocking library?
With full blocking I don't see the doubleclick cookie being set.-
which version of Ghostery are you using?
