Cookies accumulate as you browse...it's the 3rd party ones that are evil.
FIREFOX: Tools> Options> Privacy: Check 'Accept Cookies from sites' 
& Un-Check  'Accept 3rd Party cookies'
With these add-on's: 
♦♦♦"NoScript" for Firefox will stop a lot of this adware/spyware & hijackers;   and is THE single most important thing you can do to prevent most script based malware suppositories ♦♦♦

Flashblock: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433
Adblock Plus works pretty good too: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865  (make sure to utilize the 'Subscriptions' from ABP 'Preferences' tab & look in ABP > Preferences> Filters> Add filter subscription> "View All Subscriptions" link @ top of window> (on the new window, select those which you'd like to add)> follow prompts.
The list is long...look for any that will help your browse sessions be 'cleaner'.

INTERNET EXPLORER: Tools> Internet Options> Privacy> Advanced: 
here check 'Override automatic....'; 'Allow session cookies';  'Allow 1st party cookies' & 'Block 3rd Party Cookies'.
