So, save the cookies you use, then check "expire at end of session". 
One can always check "accept" temporarily, when finding a site one 
wishes to return to frequently, and then go back to "expire" mode 
afterwards. In other words; selectivity, save only the cookies you 
desire. Ah yes, selectivity, choice; why I don't use IE in the first 
place.
