When one web site plants cookies from multiple sites - how do I block the multiples?

Some web sites I visit have Adwords. They can be hugely annoying, but they can also fill up the "cookies" screen.

I have visited the sites of those cookies "like yieldmanager.net" and blocked them, but they still get thru from the other site. I think the Blocking mechanism on FF is designed if you are on that site, and the cookie is from that site. Not if you are on "www.fred.co.uk" and the cookie is "ad.billy.net".

So how do I block these cookies permanently, without blocking access to the site itself?
