"Little hack" it is, "nice" it isn't.
Ideally just turn off magic_quotes_gpc - you can do so in php.ini, or perhaps your web server configuration files (httpd.conf, .htaccess etc.).

If you don't have access to any of the above then install the latest version of PHP_Compat (http://pear.php.net/package/PHP_Compat) and include 'PHP/Compat/Environment/magic_quotes_gpc_off.php'. Reversing the effects of magic_quotes_gpc at runtime is far from trivial, there's lots of potential for subtle bugs, let alone completely forgetting about $_COOKIE.

If you're unable to install PHP_Compat, you can grab the relevant files from CVS:
http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pear/PHP_Compat/Compat/Environment/_magic_quotes_inputs.php?revision=1.3&view=markup
http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pear/PHP_Compat/Compat/Environment/magic_quotes_gpc_off.php?revision=1.7&view=markup
