Every browser has cookie settings and clearing capability. Just google " cookie delete" to find for your browser. Most of the good ones [Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc...] also have settings to not allow permanent cookies.

Here is the cookie settings in Firefox, mostly default here:

You'll need to change the "History" dropdown to use custom settings as I have. The you can use all these options to set up your browser however you need. The 2 dropdowns at the bottom are the most important usually. Changing the first from "Always" [where I currently have it] to "From Visited". You could use never, but that will disable login cookies for sites such as this as well. In the other dropdown you can change it from "they expire" to "I close firefox" or "ask me every time".

Another thing you can do is use the "Always use private browsing mode" checkbox for ultra-high security settings.

Finally, you can see up near the top that I have the checkbox for "Tell sites I don't want to be tracked" checked. This isn't obeyed by every site, but most legitimate ones will obey it.

I only know Firefox, but I'm sure the other browsers have similar settings. The settings and quality of control in Firefox is why I've always continued to use it, even when Chrome was faster. I'm all about my own control of my life.
