What the heck are "cookies"?

Cookies are text placed on your computer's hard disk (yes!) by a website in order to remember something about you. For example, a site may set a cookie that enables you to reenter without logging in or customize its pages based on the type of browser you're using. Cookies remain controversial (more later).
