This is an old dos trick - change cookies.txt to read only (an empty file
or only the cookies you want to keep) so that the browser is restricted to
the current session only.  

Also, on a close topic (defeating tracking), does anyone have a reference
on how to get squid to serve up a graphic of my choice and not doubleclick
adds.  Sites are adding script to thier pages to check that the add is
fetched before working fully, and I have seen it defeated by squid sending
some inoculous local graphic instead.
