Well, it depends on what you mean by "negative effect." Cookies perform a number of different functions, some of which is beneficial and some not at all. By the way, you don't use a registry cleaner to remove cookies. Instead, you can use a privacy tool (e.g. CCleaner, IE Privacy Keeper and EZCleaner).
Cookies are little bits of information that a website downloads to your computer. It has a number of uses which are very handy, such as: saving your login information, saving your layout preferences on a website and cataloging items that you looked at and/ or purchased. Here are some examples:
1. Saving your login information: I use Yahoo! services extensively and I don't like to constantly have to enter my Yahoo! ID and password.
2. Saving your layout preferences: I use Google News Page and set it to only display the modules I am interested in, such as: World news, Science, Entertainment but not Sports. Without a cookie for Google News, I would have to set my layout preference every single time I visited the website.
3. Cataloging items that you looked at and/ or purchased: I purchase items from Amazon. Amazon maintains a list of items that I tend to look at or buy. Using this information, Amazon can suggest items for me to look at without me having to run a search for it.
Well, above are the good things about cookies. Some users find cookies to be too intrusive. Net users are not comfortable with websites monitoring their movement on the Internet. These cookies are commonly called "Tracking Cookies." Most security software program consider tracking cookies to be spyware. People like there privacy on the Internet and cookies prevents that. So, you as an individual have to decide which is best for you.
As a middle ground, you can select which cookies you want deleted and which you want to keep. CCleaner, EZ Cleaner and IE Privacy Keeper all have a feature to do just that. You can run a Google search to find these programs.

The only side effect is that websites will not 'remember' you when you revisit. For example, if you chose to let Yahoo remember you when you try to log in into your email, your username and password will not be save for you on Yahoo. You will have to re-enter this info again if Yahoo's cookie is deleted.

Definetly not,
but what happens is important. You normally find the pages which left cookies appear openning slow. but don't you worry, It happens only first time and next time it is quicker again.
But deleting cookies really help you to speed up your system in overhaul effect.
TAke care.

No not at all, all it does is clear the memory of your computer for the internet, it will just download new cookies when you revisit internet sites
