Ok, TMI, but try to read it all. I will bold the direct answer but be careful! Cookies do alot of things.. Including, if you aren't careful, look at what you are typing. All of it.

Yes, they can track what ads you click, too. In fact, some cookies are harmless; that's all they do. But they also like to take little peeps at your URL now and again...

Now before you burn your computer, I would suggest looking up how to clear cookies, and if you are using firefox, set your browser to delete them on leaving.

And to answer that burning question, yes, santa likes cookies VERY much, so don't visit any NAUGHTY sites. (This is a good way to avoid harmful cookies in general.)

Can your computer get viruses from cookies?

Cookies are not viruses. Cookies are small harmless text files used to identify you by the website that set them. For example, answers.com probably uses cookies to remember your log in, and so do most of the site on the internet that allow you to remember your log in. Some cookies are used by advertising agencies to track which ads are shown when. As adverts are all over the internet, the cookies could be accessed by any number of websites. These are called "Tracking Cookies", however, the same thesis applies, if you have a cookie from Google ads, and I don't have Google ads on my site, I won't be able to access, or even know that, you have that cookie.
