hehe...sure no problem (ill take this one lawizard).
A cookie (no not the one you eat) is a file that web pages send to your Temporary internet folder along with everything else that you download when downloading web pages (graphic files and anything else you may need to download a website). What cookies does mainly is keep track of your visits to the website and what you did there so that the next time you visit that site, the cookie on your computer is sent back to the sites server so it remembers you. The cookie file usually contain information that you entered on the website and what you looked at there. Ever knowtice that you dont always have to log back into this site every time? Thats the beauty of the cookie. It has your user name and password right in the cookie so you dont have to enter it every time. Thats the basics of the cookie. I guess it can do other things...but i dont know what else.
