Mike,
I have a script I wrote that will go in an eat your cookies
(trash them), as well as your cache files, miscellaneous
junk files (such as MRJ cache files that are 'accidentally'
left over), etc. But it doesn't do these things through the
browser interface, rather it goes straight at the files and
moves them to the trash (& empties the trash). On a
similiar thought, you could empty your cookies & cache
files, then log into the actual companies you want to
store, back-up the cookie file, and then have the computer
trash the new cookie file each day and restore the
backed-up one. I find it's generally easier to accept
cookies and then trash them, than to be selective about
which ones I keep (and it forces me to memorize passwords
or log passwords elsewhere, not relying on my cookies to
'remember' them for me).
You can find the script at:

Note: if using NetScape v4.6 or later, it requires some
modification to match your actual path names. See remarks
in the script for what to change.
Best Wishes,
