The real answer is in you. You need to know what cookies you want to keep. NO ONE can guess this. It's your cookie.
When I found some thousand cookies way back when I simpled sorted them by date and deleted the ones that were over 2 months old. That brought it down to some reasonable number in a flash.
Next I moved to a browser (Mozilla) that would ask me to allow/deny cookies per web site. I answer no each time and only allow such if need be.
No addin was ever added.
