I fear this topic is perilously close to being off-topic, but there is
another alternative that I don't think falls in the "disable" category:
You can use the Luckman Anonymous Cookie, which is a freeware product. I
think the address is something like www.luckman.com. With this product,
a cookie is generated, but it goes to a central dumping site somewhere
(not in your system), and you remain anonymous.
