These are tiny text files that are installed on your system (they will not affect your system) when you contact a Web site. For example, you have probably noticed that when you visit some Web sites that require a membership, the site will recognize you and welcome you back by name each time you visit. This occurs because the site has left a "cookie" on your computer which remembers a portion of your membership information such as your first name.
