Cookies are small files that a website can place on your computer to identify you. For example - if you login to a website frequently, and they have a "remember me" checkbox on their login page, often ticking that will trigger the site to store your credentials in a cookie on your computer to save you from having to login manually with every visit.
They can be used for malicious user tracking, but most modern web browsers (e.g. Firefox) offer you a prompt when a website tries to place a cookie on your PC.
