Not all cookies are bad.

If you keep deleting them then you will have to logon to web sites (like answerbank) each time you visit it.

Some cookies actually taste good.!!

Seriously, if you trust a site (as I do Answerbank) I don't think you need to be bothered about what it puts into the oven (oops..Computer.)

I changed my Internet Explorer options to ask to be prompted each time a web site added a cookie. I then deleted all my browsing history.

Went back into IE and select Answerbank and was asked if it was ok to create a cookie.

I then had to click "ok" another 25 times (each one a cookie) before the answerbank web site was displayed.

I am not sure if each of those 25 was a "new" cookie or just an update to an existing cookie, but the number really surprised me.

I have the program called "CCleaner" installed (usually known as Crap Cleaner) and it records all Cookies being used. It will permanently save any of the cookies you select to be saved and all others are deleted each time you boot up the computer. With this program you don't have to be bothered about unwanted cookies any more.

"I am not sure if each of those 25 was a "new" cookie or just an update to an existing cookie, but the number really surprised me."

It's because each ad-zone has separate cookies, so if we have 4 ad-zones on the page you may see 4x the "same" cookie. They're what push up the number. It's fairly normal and completely legitimate. We only use a handful of cookies ourselves.
