What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a harmless text file that is stored in your browser when you visit almost any website. The purpose of the cookie is to enable the website to remember your visit when you browse that page again.

What Information Does a Cookie Store?
Cookies do not typically store sensitive information about you, such as credit cards or bank details, photographs, your ID, or personal information, etc. The data they store is of a technical nature, personal preferences, content customization, etc.
The web server does not associate you as a person but rather your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and try browsing the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you will see that the website does not realize you are the same person because it is actually associating the browser, not the person.
What Types of Cookies Exist?
