The thing is, if you send cookie to the bit bucket,
and then you decide you actually want to do something
that requires cookie exchange, you have to undo it
at a prompt.  If you just disable cookies via preferences
in the browser, it's a tiny bit easier to toggle them back on.

Or, as I suggested, Mozilla and others will let you specify
"This site can swap cookies, the others can't"
