A "cookie" is a small text file from a website that is stored on your computer. They contain small amounts of data particular to your computer and the website it came from. The data can be used for identification of a user session, preferences, shopping cart contents, etc. They are not as a rule harmful, but your browsing habits can be determined by examining them.
