Here's something I invented myself (maybe 1,000,000 others did, too, of course) Use Netscape. It only has a single cookie file, cookie.txt, instead of thousands of individual ones as IE does. Find cookie.txt and right-click for properties and click read only. The verdamte programs think they're giving you a cookie but it doesn't get added. (This is much better than turning cookies off - the programs know that and keep insisting you accept.) If you're ever at a site at which you want to accept, just make a safety copy of cookie.txt (yes, do it) and unclick read-only while you're there. Works fine for me.
