Use Firefox with the Better Privacy Add-on. Problem solved. Permanently. Silverlight cookies, on the other hand, are much more difficult to kill off.

Could you please add dates to all of your articles. It is hard to tell if they are date relevant or not.

Automatic and central rule-based management of all Cookies for Windows is provided by MAXA Cookie Manager. It includes regular cookies of all leading browsers as well as browser independent ones (Flash and Silverlight).
With a whitelist it ensures that you keep the cookies you want and its blacklist allows to block others completely.
It integrates automatical recognizing of web bugs as well.

Standard version is free, Pro version allows more automatic cookie management. See http://www.maxa-tools.com/cookie.php

If I had Silverlight (baked in to Windows 7) I would consider MAXA. It seems to be the only product out there which automatically kills Silverlight Cookies, no matter where someone has placed them on your computer.

All PC World Articles have dates below the by-lines. Never seen one that doesn't. You may need to allow at least two scripts to run in order to see the dates.
