From what I understand by reading the Symantec article on the subject is that tracking cookies aren't really malware and are more of a privacy issue than a security issue.

If you set your browser to block third-party cookies you will reduce the number f tracking cookies. You could also install SpywareBlaster. This program will populate the blocked cookies list which will further reduce tracking cookies.
