TaoPhoenix:
What happens if I set my browser to disallow all cookies period? I know I'll lose "a little functionality" but do y'all expect entire sites to break if they can't set cookies?

Why not try it and see? You will at any rate discover which sites are designed not to work for you unless you let them set/read cookies.
TaoPhoenix:
I'll have to check the settings - the latest evil fad is Flash Objects etc, which, not being cookies, don't always get wiped when you "clear cookies". I'll try to report later which sites need/don't need cookies etc.

I had a minute to look at cookie settings today. There's two big categories: "Sites" and "Third-Parties". Turning the Site Cookies off seems to be pretty bad - Gmail yelled at me "You don't have cookies enabled. Sudo turn them back on now." (Paraphrased).
So now I'll see how far I get with the Third Party ones off.
IainB:
Good luck in the cookie labyrinth.
