Not wanting to have cookies enabled does not make you paranoid, but that 
doesn't mean that you aren't.  ;-}

Since a lot of sites do offer content that relies on cookies to work and there 
is some convenience factor involved in having cookies, I do enable them on my 
machine but have Opera discard them after each browser session.  That way, I 
gain the convenience of having the content and session persistence that 
cookies deliver but at the same time, there is no possibility of long-term 
tracking of my surfing habits.

I consider it a moderate middle-road.
