OK, should I be concerned. One of them says liveperson, but how do I tell if
they are a threat?

Cookies are no real threat. You can delete them yourself in your browser
options menu, or have Norton delete them. Some of them track what sites
you've been to, but that's about it. Just delete them. If you're really
concerned about cookies getting on your computer, however, than download a
program called spyware blaster, which sets rules in your browser to block
cookies from those kinds of sites.
Cheers,
Will

Some (like tracking cookies) are considered to be a threat and can slow down
browsing, some are beneficial and some sites (like banking and shopping
sites) won't work at all unless you accept them. Read these articles for
further information. Think twice before you delete cookies from reputable
companies.

party cookies" and/or session cookies, and definately select "reject third
part cookies." I find it strangely annnoying, and satisfying, that 3rd part
cookies are rejected, (red symbol on IE's status bar), when I'm using IE,
particularly during online banking.
In case you haven't already done it, drop the hosts file into the relevant
directory:-

Always Allow. Can be irritating to have to frequently decide whether to
allow or block 1st-party cookies, but with time the training sets in (using
the "Always" checkbox, whether they're Allowed or Blocked.) Fairly easy to
edit the list, in any case. I seldom if ever have to clean out all cookies.
Just do it manually every few weeks or during regular IE maintenance. The
list is usually small, since even 1st-party cookies are usually useless to
me.
