Another option is:

ln -sf /dev/null ~/.netscape/cookies

Now Netscape can write all its cookies to the file as much as it wants
but they won't be there when it tries to read them back in.  Of course,
this disables the purpose of cookies and most serious web sites which
NEED to use cookies won't work if you do either of these things.
