Same here, I've not got a problem getting rid of it but I'm intrigued too. I've just tried to get on the Screwfix site but it's temporarily unavailable as they've reached the limit of orders they can process for next day delivery due to the move to their new warehouse not going as well as planned or something.

That's a right ***** up Sal. Their new warehouse is huuuuuge - you can see it from miles away - but they didn't get enough staff in place. The local free paper has full colour leaflets inside trying to recruit more pickers / packers.

LMAO!

Just ran Spyboy on PC for the first time in ages. One of the things it found was C2.lop from Screwfix.com.

So I whack "Screwfix.com" and "C2.lop" into Google to see if I can find anymore. The only result? This thread

A bit more info:

First:

I was refered to this thread by Screwfix.co.uk (a UK supplier of building materials) after I queried the fact that I had received the c2.lop cookie after accessing their home page. They deny any responsibility. A couple of friends have tried accessing their page - one got the cookie, the other didn't. We can spot any difference in our security setup.

I have been surfing various sites over the last 2 days and not got any cookies as a result. But as soon as I go to the Screwfix home page, I get it again.

Given their assurance that they do not employ any form of tracking cookie (which I accept - it is a very reputable company) why am I getting C2.lop and why only when I access Screwfix's home page?

Incidentally, it doesn't make any difference whether I browse it with IE or Firefox.
