That can tell what browser you're using, your resolution, what operating system you're using, etc. But nothing about what kind of computer you're using, how much RAM, etc

If your Internet explorer security is low, yes, they can that's because they can run Java-scripts and VB-Scripts. These kind of stuffs are able to gather information from your computer.
There is two kinds of scripts:
1. Server-side scripts
2. Client-side scripts
those server-side scripts like PHP aren't able to gather such information, even with Cookies they can't. maybe the most dangerous thing for Server-side scripts are those who can find out what's your Web browser type or how long, when and how many times you have been there or even your IP address.
