Talking about Internet: what's a cookie??

Question

I just bought a laptop and on the settings says" accept cookies from websites visited" It gives the option yes or no.

Answer 1

Haha, this question seems to be in the wrong category but I'll answer for you. A cookie is sort of like a little tracking memory put on your computer from websites. It helps those websites, along with future websites, to feed you information and items that are more relevant to you as a user. I would accept cookies from trusted sites only as they can also be used for spyware.  

Answer 2

This does not belong in food and drink, wrong cookie.
