I have removed ssl.google-analytics.com from the sites 
that bypass privoxy, but to be safe, I did make an 
entry to refuse cookies.

I checked your user.action file and added a { +block } 
section with .google-analytics.com beneath -- the only 
deviation from the stock file provided by the package, 
and now it all seems to work!

I can log out of google, I can check my pcpoints...

I must have had an obscure error in my original file, 
which was the stock file, like yours, plus a couple of 
sites to expressly block, again, like yours. As a 
result of this experimentation, I have noticed that it 
is not necessary to block all of those sites at all, 
as the standard user.action already does it without 
further ado.

I had a look at customizegoogle, but I pass. Thanks for 
the suggestion, but I prefer to avoid installing 
scripts and firefox addons, etc., that do not originate 
from reputable sources like fedora, mozilla, etc.

In any respect, *it works!*

Merci and Happy Thanksgiving Day.
