    How do you mean? 'Site's only read cookies that they put down, the
    advertising on the site might read cookies put down by advertisers LOL

    A better strategy might be to implement some form of cookie management
    to reduce the number that are written to your machine. Either something
    like Cookie Pal, or one of the Firewall products with cookie management,
    or within your browser security settings.
