I really recommend using a web browser that can not only show you exactly what's being stored, but allow you to filter it out using expressions, or filter it "in" on a per-site basis. OmniWeb (now free on the Mac) has one of the best interfaces for cookies I've ever seen, especially the site-specific part. I was absolutely amazed by just how much crap a single web page visit was attempting to store on my machine: not only from the current site, but for MANY other domains that I did not explicitly visit. And I wonder why sites load slowly on my phone... I remember when I discovered how sites were using Flash a few years ago, and I was infuriated. I dug up the Flash settings manager [1] (not exactly an easy task, and NOT obvious), and reset the thing to store zero bytes on my computer.
