It looks like that alert is printed at line 360 of LYCookie.c, from a 
quick look, it could probably be done by bracketing the sprintf() and
if(!HTConfirm(msg)) bits with an `if(!LYAcceptAllCookies)'...but it's 3AM
and I don't trust myself right now so you shouldn't either.

I haven't come across this alert (I visit very few sites that use cookies)
so I'll leave it to someone else to decide if this is a good idea or not.
