It can be good and bad. Some cookies contain downloads that you've gotten for particular programs that need updates. BUT... they are copies, so deleting all cookies is a good thing. If you do that you save yourself from acidentally opening up a file that has a virus. Cookies can contain viruses that were not detected by your virus protection.

Sometimes it may be necessary to delete a cookie if you want your browser to re-identify you to sites you are visiting. Other time , you may simply not want some site storing some cookie on your machine. ( if you are neato :o)
However, most of the time cookies are pretty harmless. cookies are quite handy also. (Despite what the paranoids tell you) because you do not need to type in your info all the time in browsers.

Just imagine how you like/dislike cookies.
When you don't eat it, you keep until it's expired then you throw it. However you can chuck it away anytime, sometime because it's dirty, or you don't want people know that you are eating this cookies, or you just wanna try the taste of it.
It's exactly the same thing as cookies in your browser.

I am not a computer whiz at all but I have been told that most cookies are harmless and that many are very useful in that they enable you to access a lot of stuff very easily.

The question is whether it's good for you. Your PC doesn't care. Cookies store information about your activities.

Your computer doesn't care either way. You see it lacks all the things it would need to do that - consciousness, free will etc.
