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.
