Answer 5

No. They are stored on the hard drive. Most of the time, tracking cookies are nothing to worry about, they keep track of things you've done on a website so that website can adjust content to suit your needs (say, automatically signing you in, bringing up your shopping cart).

If you want to clear cookies, you can do so in Tools -> Clear Private Data in Firefox or By clicking Tools -> Internet Options and clicking the Delete button under Browsing history on the General tab.
