Dave, not only does most of the public know liitle about browser  
cookies and
virtually nothing about managing them, I'd like to point out that  
YouTube and
most video sites use Flash which has it's own cookies called Local  
Shared
Objects (LSOs) <http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/articles/lso/>
which can only be managed at the Adobe web site or using a browser  
plugin
like Objection.
