Cookies are required for most websites to run smoothly on your computer. Due to the new "cookie law" that has been passed internationally, a website must require the user to be able to control the cookie settings, although some websites might not have an "off" setting as it is crucial for cookies on the website.

Can too many cookies slow down your computer?

Cookies do not slow your computer down.Too many cookies or temporary internet files might slow down a badly-written web browser (possibly some versions of Internet Explorer).Accessing a cookie on a badly fragmented hard disk may also slow your web browser down (much like pulling a book from a bookshelf that is alphabetized versus finding a book in a pile of books).But they CANNOT slow down the computer in general. Only your web browser ever looks at this data.(Your computer might behave badly if it runs out of disk space. If you are out of disk space deleting temporary internet files might free some up. The cookies don't take up much space though.)

Your husband deletes cookies how do you get them back?

I assume you are talking about internet cookies. Cookies, once deleted, cannot be undeleted. However, if you have backup of all the files on your computer from before the cookies were deleted, then the cookies will be in that backup. A backup could be done manually. It could be that your husband backs up and you don't know it. Or some computers are set to back up automatically at certain intervals.
