A cookie is a small file saved to your computer by a website telling your computer what settings you have used previously on that site.
The trouble comes when spyware or adware sites have been visited, because the cookies can be unwanted by you.
Delete your cookies every once in a while to keep them from taking up too much space.

snacks that make the cookie monster go crazy.
internet cookies are really small files that your internet browser create when you visit a site. Cookies help keep track of your visit to the site like if the site needs a login, you don't have to login everytime or if the site has options regarding the layout or color scheme.
Cookies can also be used by website to track how often you visit a site, what ad or links you click on, which is technically spyware. Its best to have antispyware software on your PC to protect yourself.

Cookies are small files that save context information.
Any site that remembers your name or password or anything about you probably does so with a cookie. The web server itself knows nothing about you.
