Generally, no you should not delete your cookies because most of them barely have an affect on how fast your computer runs in general and considerably speed up how quickly you view internet sites that you have visited before. Deleting ones that cause a larger draw on your processing power is a good idea though as is deleting ones to sites that you haven't visited in a long time or that you do not plan on visiting again.
