Well, with Opera it looks like the cookies are stored in
~/.opera/cookies4.dat , and with Mozilla in
~/.mozilla/<account>/<pseudorandom>/cookies.txt . Presumably in Konqueror
they're stored in an equally easily identifiable file. Try juust deleting
that file; if that doesn't work make sure the program isn't running when
you do that; if that doesn't work then try "cat /dev/null > filename".
Probably a straight delete when the browser isn't running will be fine.
There may even be a way to set the browser for "accept for this session
only", if that's close enough.

Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.
