Hey Peter,
As has been mentioned recently, "WebWasher" is the answer.  
It has MANY options and blocks/controls cookies, scripts and 
other nasties that can invade your privacy behind your back 
without you EVER knowing it.

Another thing I use to block others from getting into my system 
entirely is:
ZoneAlarm from ZoneLabs.  It's not only for those with DSL or 
cable modems either.  Works great.  And if you want to see just 
how well it works, check the activity log and see just how many 
out there have been getting into your system, but now can't.  
It also one of the VERY few firewalls that can block others from 
using your computer as a BOT participant for hackers (another 
thing that happens without you ever knowing it's going on).  
And most likely, it's the only firewall that can do this that is free.
