The best answer would probably be to use the kind of pop-up messages you get when you're going to submit a secure or insecure form. "You're about to send a cookie back to a web server, continue or abandon?" "You're about to send mail from a web page, do you want to do that?" Give people the ability to turn the messages off -- that way functionality isn't impaired.
I find that a very good solution providing that the browser say:
"You're about to send a cookie...." Here, I would add: "... that contain the following information:"
(information list) "... back to a web server, continue or abandon?" Otherwise, it not as worse, but still in the same spirit as to sign a blank check to a stranger...
