Which year did Alan Turing make his computer?

In the year 1936, The Turing machine was developed featuring computability and was considered a universal machine.

I do not agree. There is no such thing as "the Turing machine", at least not as a material machine. It is a purely theoretical machine, it features, among other things a tape of infinite length.

Turing did help in building Colossus, a system used to break German ciphers, but I think this was in 1943. He also worked on the so-called bombs which were a further development of a Polish code-breaking approach (see related link).

Who built the first computer is, however, subject of a lot of debate.

Turing was certainly one of the first to describe the concept of computability mathematically using his theoretical machine.

Where is the cookies folder on your computer?

Cookies are most commonly used to track Web site activity. When you visit some sites, the server gives you a cookie that acts as your identification card. Upon each return visit to that site, your browser passes that cookie back to the server. In this way, a Web server can gather information about which Web pages are used the most, and which pages are gathering the most repeat hits. Cookies are also used for online shopping. When you visit an online store, you often must fill out a form that includes your name, address, phone number, and other information. To avoid re-entering this information each time you visit the store, the server may issue you a cookie containing this information. Upon your next visit to the store, this cookie automatically supplies all necessary information for you. One of the most useful ways in which servers use cookies is to provide personalized Web pages. You offer information by selecting preferences at a particular site, which the server then places in a cookie. When you return, the server uses the information in the cookie to create a customized page for you.
