If you like to take total control over your browsing session which means controlling individual cookies, then a Firefox add-on you need is CookieSafe.

This extension will allow you to easily control cookie permissions. It will appear on your statusbar. Just click on the icon to allow, block, or temporarily allow the site to set cookies. You can also view or clear the cookies and exceptions by right clicking on the statusbar icon. For safer browsing you may choose to deny cookies globally and then enable them on a per site basis.

Basically, what NoScript does for javascript, CookieSafe does for cookies. While I do not consider cookies to be nearly as dangerous as scripts, this is definitely something the security conscience user will want to consider.
