I allow by default and simply block a (large) number of stat tracking domains and other dubious sites. (Generally I just compiled a large domain list of advertising / stat bug / malware domains, rather than actively patrol my cookies for domains I wanted to block.)

I’ve toyed with doing it the other way around (block by default, use whitelist) but generally it’s too much of a hassle.

This is all more or less a carryover from when I used to be really privacy paranoid — I don’t really have a valid reason outside of that these days. Force of habit. :)
