If you are using IE there is a really easy way to manage cookies

1) In IE>Internet Options...>Privacy>Advanced

select Override automatic cookie handling
select Block first-party cookies
select Block third-party cookies
select Always allow session cookies

This will block all but session cookies (deleted when you exit IE).

2) If you visit a site that requires cookies you will need to add it under Privacy>Sites>Allow

I've been using this configuration for a very long time with no problems and Ad-Aware NEVER finds malicious
cookies.
