   The better solution is to use a filtering proxy. (I cannot get rid of
cookies completely, as I often login to sites, such as web-based email,
etc.) With a filtering proxy you can control black and white lists to your
preferences.
   BTW, Mozilla browser maintains lists of sites to disallow cookies and
images. Simple and easy, but powerful protection.
