http://www.privnet.com/ offers a commercial product, Internet Fast
Forward, which includes a cookie filter. A beta version is currently
available without cost, although I have had some problems with it. But
it works well for sites which bombard you with cookies, where the "ask"
dialog box of Netscape 3 drives you crazy.
(I have no connections with the company.)
