That is why I gave the link so you could post it to show just who irrelevant cookies are. Tracking cookies just sounds very serious and for the most part they are 3rd party cookies.
Any browser worth its salt will have the setting not to accept 3rd party cookies (those not originating from the site you are visiting) and that will almost alleviate them at a stroke. Most will also have settings to either delete all cookies when you close the browser.
Cookie Monster for firefox is another add-on to help control cookies as by default it will allow session cookies and only allow permanent (restricted by a date) for sites that you allow. All session cookies are removed when you close your browser.
So as you can see cookies are an irrelevance.
