Why did my online banking site just tell me I am using a different computer?

I haven't switched notebooks in a long time and use this site frequently, does anyone know why my bank would think I'm using a different computer?

Maybe the 'cookies' have been modified or removed. A 'cookies' is like an ID card that a website uses to upload your settings. They can even use it to match it with their records whether if you are part of their company or not.

Perhaps you've cleared your cookies.
