Ghostery should block the Google PREF cookie.
Its only purpose is to uniquely identify users of all Google services (logged in or not) and can then be used to track them for up to two years; blocking it doesn't break anything. (Though Google will send repeated requests.) It's not sent over an encrypted connection, either, so others can eavesdrop and identify the user in the future.

It's first-party, and out of scope for Ghostery.
Also, there's a risk attempting this would lock up the browser (similar to an extension conflict, but you'd actually be conflicting with something inside the browser itself). There's a right way to deal with this, but Ghostery isn't it.

I deliberately don't use Google unless it is as a last resort.
However, this Add-On has been 'recently added' on Mozilla if it is of interest to others :
