Just go into your cookies folder and delete all or some of your cookies.

I use PurgeIE (www.purgeie.com) for this task -- not free, but usable
for 14 non-consecutive days. I was hooked on it after trying it out.

It cleans out all of this crud, along with the cache, history
(including *.dat files that you can only delete in DOS), stray cookies,
temp files, visited URLs, everything. (You can protect cookies and
cache you want to keep, of course; very configurable.)

I'm not sure if there's a freeware utility that does as much (I haven't
bothered searching for one since I found this.)

Most cookie get-rid-of-erz's usually don't get rid of them all. That is why
one should use more than one or two tools to do the chore. Another free one
is
