" I don't think tracking me makes you evil, and in fact if I actually use a sites resources like customizable pages I am unlikely to remove their cookies. I personally only block cookies from cross site marketers that are trying to obtain some kind of privacy invading profile of me and my habits."
Exactly. My browser prompts me for all cookies, and it's funny how often I go to a site like http://cnn.com/ and start getting prompts for cookies from all kinds of ads.*.coms. Did I go to visit ads.mediaplex.com? No, I went to feed my feeble American mind with some media hype, thank you. It is these cookies that worry me. It's like going to the book store and having some smelly bum follow me out and around the block to see which store I go to next, maybe back to my car to see what kind of car I drive, etc... Maybe I like the color blue, maybe I like fast cars, maybe I like pr0n, maybe that damn bum should stop following me every where I go. No thanks to that cookie. I believe it is these cross-marketers that are feeling the pinch, and I really couldn't care less.
