Comment(by pde):

 Interesting.  It looks as though either Keep {MORE|MY} Opt Outs can
 trigger the problem.  I was using Keep MY when I reproduced beforehand;
 Keep MORE triggered it very quickly just now.

 It looks to me as though the problem could be the two extensions fighting
 over what exact cookies 3rd party tracking sites get to define.  HTTPS-E
 wants to turn on the secure flag in those cookies and KMOO thinks the
 cookies are being deleted and decides to recreate them.

 AdBlock plus probably makes the problem less severe, especially if you use
 EasyPrivacy, because it will stop more of these cookies from being set in
 the first place.
