I use an extension called Prefbar — click on the thumbnail in this post and check the top of the picture. Prefbar might need tweaking to work because it wasn't updated (maybe it has been, by now), but you can turn cookies on and off with PrefButtons, as well. PrefBar and PrefButtons have other controls, as well, that I haven't bothered with because of other extensions or simply don't apply. And there are other Firefox add-ons that easily control cookies.
Adblock is a godsend, along with automatic updaters that block all DoubleClick's ads, along with the other international cookie-tracing outfits like it, and any other ad you don't want to see.
Since Firefox is cross-platform, these extensions work on PCs, as well.

Use your Mac online as much as you can and avoid even connecting the peasea to the net as much as possible.

To get rid of adware and spyware, I like the free program Ad-Aware; I've found it is easier for non-technical users to use than Spybot Search & Destroy (Spybot S&D assumes that you know how the system Registry works, for example).
You can download Ad-Aware here.

Telemarketers and advertisers are certainly sinking to the depths of used car salesmen and sharks.

By defending in depth.
I.e., use multiple tactics.
Firefox > Edit > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies > Keep Cookies > "Ask Me Every Time"
Using this Firefox option you will see just how many cookies the world is trying to put on your computer - and you can stop it from happening in real time.
Of course, that can get a little tiresome. So it may be best to automate the process - this is a computer, isn't it? - fight fire with fire - with:
(1) Adblock Plus
OR
(2) Adblock
You might also consider adding Adblock Filterset.G Updater or a similar pre-configured ad-blocker filter list to one of the ad-blockers, above.
Happy browsing -
