Enabling cookies allows for any website to store bits of information on your computer, therefore it is possible to obtain malware this way, commonly in the form of tracking cookies.
Personally, I use Firefox, block all cookies, and use the Exceptions list to manually create a list of websites I wish to allow to store cookies on my disk. I believe you can do this with IE as well, and I recommend it.
