Noticed Double Click was not being blocked
I noticed that Double Click (one of the oldest and most famous web marketers) was not being blocked by Ghostery (which I found extremely odd). So I blocked it manually. Then, just today, when the alert bubble popped up on a website - there was Double Click unblocked again. What gives? Surely Ghostery is blocking Double Click

Greetings!
Thanks for using Ghostery!
Which browser are you using? and which version of Ghostery? Does it always happen or only on certain sites?Comment -

This is also happening to me. Ghostery keeps allowing googles double click tracker, I keep blocking it and after a bit it's unblocked again. Is google interfering with ghostery?
I'm using firefox on Linux-
More details (including sample URLs and possibly screenshots) can be helpful here, since DoubleClick is complicated (and confusing).
There are currently five trackers with DoubleClick in their names:
DoubleClick [Advertising]
DoubleClick Bid Manager [Advertising]
DoubleClick DART [Advertising]
DoubleClick Floodlight [Beacons]
DoubleClick Spotlight [Beacons]
(Note that the first three may match some elements with non-doubleclick.net domains.)
Some doubleclick.net elements may be identified as:
Google Adsense [Advertising]
Google Affiliate Network [Advertising]
Google Analytics [Analytics]
Right Media [Advertising]
(This list is not exhaustive, but exceptions should be quite rare.)
Remember that whitelisting, user.site.preferences.db entries (Firefox only), and pausing Ghostery can override your blocking settings.
I doubt Google is interfering with Ghostery, but other extensions you have installed might — please list the ones you're using.

Thank you for responding so quick, I didn't know double click had five trackers I thought it was just double click. Well I've just checked and it's still blocked so maybe it will be OK now.
The other extensions I'm using are- Adblock+, DuckDuckGo plus, facebook blocker, Flash video down-loader. -
