What are cookies?

Cookies are little pieces of data that can be stored on your web browser. Cookies are usually set by applications that are running on a web site you visit. The most common use of cookies are for visitor tracking, and limited customization. For tracking purposes, sites may place a cookie into your browser that is a simple time stamp, with that stamp they can monitor your trip through a site. For customization, a cookie can store data that can represent how you view a web site.

This form of customization is limited because a cookie is unique to a browser, not a user. So, for example, if you setup Quicklinks using Internet Explorer, you will only be able to use those quicklinks again in Internet Explorer. This is because each browser keeps a separate "cookie" container.

Are cookies a security threat?

No, not really, cookies cannot access your system or retrieve information that isn't already broadcast by your web browser. Cookies cannot access your harddrive or send information about your computer system. Cookies are just simply a data storage system.
