It seems to me that your first point is moot. Personally, I use the AdBlock extension for Firefox (and I'm sure many others do) to block any ads I don't wish to see. Tired of seeing the same old ad? Nope, I'll never see them at all.
The other two points also seem invalid. Maybe if someone completely disabled their cookies they would be true. However, a much smarter approach is to simply set your web browser to delete cookies after a set period of time (every 30 days, for instance), or to delete them upon closing the web browser. This way tracking via cookies only lasts for a set period of time, but most other cookie functions would continue working.
I suppose that people using IE may not have these options available, so for them enabling cookies might be a better idea. Then again, who uses IE anymore? =P
