Na its more intended for targeting adverts at you, if you are overly para re that then simply clear your browsers cache / cookies after browsing the web so next time the site wont know who u are, u can always deny the cookie but a lot of sites require them to be enabled inorder to work properly.

All a cookie is a random string your computer gives back to the website each time it visits it - then the server matches you up against an existing connection (session) - newer sites do embed a little info in the cookie but it is not exploitable so to speak.
