You could lose preferences to your websites and may have to re-login to websites like www.yahoo.com.
Also, if you're shopping online like Amazon, you'll empty your shopping cart.
I generally don't save any of my cookies and clear it out very frequently (assuming my software doesn't do it for me). I have firefox block just about everything.

You should delete cookies, temporary files and history files at least twice a week or more to keep your computer free of junk.
Go into control panel under security options, the go to general and you'll see where to delete cookies and the rest.

Cookies need to be deleted quite often. You need to save all passwords somewhere else anyway. You can clear it all up with AT&T support tool - free from SBC download. Deleting those cookies will clear up a lot of memory for you also.

Probably nothing. If you have the password for a web site stored, you may lose that stored password. But beyond that you should lose anything by deleting cookies.

Heheh!... not much.. they're no biggie.. and they don't take-up much space on the hard drive; you can delete them if you want, I do it from time-to-time just for the heck of it. They're just bits of information meant to remember us everytime we visit the site that created them, during our first visit to that site. Even if you delete one that may be of some value it's no big deal, it'll be back during your next visit to that site; and from that point on you will once again be greeted by your first name (if you gave it to them) and told how happy it is to see you again. They're kinda cute when you think about their purpose, which is nothing more than getting to know the things we like about their site.
But I do agree with others in regards to sensitive info like logins; it's best to not delete cookies belonging to sites that you visit quite frequently.

Nothing, really. You may have to re-input some passwords.
You'll remove tracking cookies that you may not realize you've obtained.
