I am getting annoyed at the amount of Newsletters I receive that insist I accept a cookie before I view the Newsletter.

Why? I assume that you're talking about newsletters that you've requested - why does the cookie worry you?

As long as it's a valid cookie, how can there be a problem? If you are worried however, start using Opera, or any other browser that can be set to reject any and all cookies.

Most cookies associated with newsletters are just to track who is actually reading them. If the cookies bother you, you can do one of two things. Opt-out of those newsletters, or change your setting to accept cookies without notifying you first, and then set your temp folder to delete all content when you shut down your browser. You will delete the temp files as well as the cookies when ever you close your browser window. No cookies.
