No, don't.

First, get rid of MSIE, replacing with with a decent browser (Mozilla,
K-Meleon, some older versions of Opera, etc.).

Second, use either the built-in functions of said decent browser, or a
proper "cookie manager" utility like CookiePal or CookieCop, to control the
future download/use of cookies.
