A cookie is a small text file sent to a web user's computer by a website. A cookie can be used to identify that user to the website on their next visit. Common uses include remembering login data, user preferences, and providing favorites lists.

Some cookies, otherwise can be stored on your computer to steal information, those cookies are now no more cookies, they are qualified of "spy ware".

Spy ware is junk, cookies are not necessaryly
