in fact tracking cookies are usually fairly harmless which is why most of the Security Packages ignore them. They certainly aren't needed for normal sites such as this one. I don't know if it is still the case but years ago Lavasoft insisted my banking cookies were spyware - they weren't of course.
If you really want to control cookies use Firefox and set it to ask for all cookies and not accept third party cookies. You can then either accept the cookies - such as for this site - block cookies for sites which have no business setting them or allow session cookes. This last option is very useful as it allows you to browse sites which insist on setting cookies but when you close Firefox they are all deleted.

However - and I wish I hadn't done it - I ran Superantispyware and found several tracking cookies which were nothing to do with Firefox and were of the form cookie@atdmt.com
Checking it seems to be associated with Windows Live - tried deleting it but it didn't even tried deleting it manually and windows announced that it couldn't see the file. Most odd
