About Cookies
A Cookie is basically a small piece of information related to you that a website stores on your computer. This in and of itself is nothing bad, the vast majority of the websites out there use this simply to track when the last time you came was (so they can show you what's new), or your login information so you don't need to login again and again - great time savers!
Unfortunately not all cookies are quite so innocent. There are many companies that try to cross-reference sites that you go to, to help build customer profiles so they can target advertising at you, provide clients with buying patterns, and a whole lot more. Now, while in concept this is not too bad considering most people would welcome ad's that actually were something they were interested in, but right now it is hardly like that.
