I let my virus scanner clear out tracking cookies, I disallow third party cookies I'm not expecting and usually only allow session cookies. I only allow permanent cookies for sites where it offers me some benefit.

It's rare that my virus scanner actually clears a tracking cookie these days because I disallow them but every once in a while one of them slips by, usually because the request window popped up just as I was clicking "allow" for a different cookie. Firefox really needs to address the way it handles that.
