I was actually waiting for others to speak up. I started browsing with Cookies off in 2008 May. At first, it was rather annoying because I have mine set to alert me to the cookie usage. I allow those that are coming directly from the site and disallow those that are third party. I constantly have an eyeball with a NO symbol on it my IE browser. ;)

Why do I do this? Because I have a level of paranoia when it comes to the information I'm sharing with third parties. I "clean" my system regularly. Have most of it set to auto. I run CCleaner. I do some other things too. ;)

I'm also leery of third party content coming in through <iframes> which is where many of those third party cookies are coming from. I've come across sites that are dropping upwards of 10+ cookies on the user. I'll sit there and go through the annoying cookie messages just to see what the heck is going on while blocking each one of them.

You want some Milk to go with those Cookies?
