They can be convenient. Sites where you must log in will offer to "remember" you - what they're really doing is putting a tracking cookie on your computer that matches your IP address to the account information, so they recognize the IP address when you visit the site and know it's you. Cookies are generally harmless but if you have too many, they can clog up your computer and possibly slow it down. CCleaner is a good, free program that lets you remove cookies for sites you don't use much.
