Is one website only have one cookie? If I open a website once, it has the special cookie from the website, right? But how if I open the same website at a different computer? Will the cookie from that same website be the same? What is the relation between cookie and IP address and host?

1 new cookie per computer, it's basically something to identify the client connecting to the server. Client connects to a server and sends it's cookies, server checks if it has a cookie to identify the client connecting to it, if not the server send a cookie to the client which then stores it for the next session. A cookie can contain an IP address of the client but since majority are dynamic then it will change. A host is just another term for client.

A Cookie is a piece of code that some internet web sites will place on your computer. That web site's software will look for that cookie so that it can remember certain things. For example, your Yahoo id is written in a Cookie on your computer. That is how Yahoo remembers who you are. Cookies is basically safe since it is info on your computer. Some, tho, may be adware that can cause pop-ups. I suggest blocking pop-ups and deleteing Cookies frequently.
To remove Cookies, click Tools, Internet Options, Delete Cookies. The next time you refresh your screen, Yahoo will not know who you are so you will have to sign in again. The same will apply to other web sites that have info about you stored.
