Ken,
In all due respect, not sure that is the definitive answer, only your
opinion.
Since one can configure IE or to a lesser extent Firefox, cookies aren't the
dreaded monsters you make them out to be. I have third-party cookies
disabled.
However, there are advantages to enabling cookies. First, you need to
enable them for certain websites to function properly. Second, cookies
allow certain websites to keep track of your recent activity: i.e. news
sites can show you your preferred articles, shopping cites can preserve your
shopping cart and/or recently viewed items.
In summary, there is no need to block all cookies. Doing so will make the
browsing experience more inconvenient. Having enough knowledge to properly
configure your browser and running properly security i.e. anti-virus and
anti-spyware programs will allow one to browse safely and still retain the
convenience afforded by the proper use of cookies.

Here is the definitive answer.
Cookies are supposed to speed up accessing "their" site.
For me, without "their" cookie on my computer, it takes about one half a
second.
Every time you visit a new website, "their" cookie is placed on your
computer.
I don't give a damn about a fraction of a second, in my lifetime.
Delete the crap, you will never miss the speed up.
And you can relax and feel secure about someone's potential snooping
around in your computer
It is really a trivial issue; no matter what you do. Worry about your next
hang nail.
Peace

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Deleting cookies IE8
Hi Everyone,
When I am deleting the temp files in IE8, I find an unchecked button for
deleting cookies. Up until now, I have been doing nothing with this.
Does anyone have advice on deleting cookies? I have heard different
opinions, everything from doing it all the time to not worring about it
very
often.
Ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Russ
