Web site Privacychoice rolls the opt-out routines for a couple dozen advertising networks into a single javascript button—so you can stop them tracking you without having to mess with cookie settings.
Most advertising networks provide a mechanism to opt out of their user tracking systems, which works by them placing a cookie on your computer that tells them not to track you. Privacychoice automates the process of submitting each of the forms, saving you a lot of time if privacy is your goal—though you could simply setup CCleaner to wipe cookies on a schedule to prevent anybody from tracking your behavior online.
Privacychoice is free, works in most browsers. If you prefer a Firefox extension to give you total control over your cookies, check out previously mentioned CookieCuller—and don't forget about those hidden and hard-to-reach Flash cookies.
