While I was using Internet Explorer, I used to keep cookies off, and 
regularly clean them out on the occasions when they were switched on 
(mostly when I'd forget they were switched on).

With Safari, I have the actual file (User--> Library--> Cookies--> 
Cookies.plist, I think) locked -- which means that I can leave cookies 
on, and everything I don't want to keep is automatically tossed out 
when I quit the program. (If I ever need to add to it, I'll just unlock 
the file, do what I need to do, and lock it again.)
