Cookies are "stored as text files on your hard drive so servers can access them when you return to Web sites you've visited before. ... Cookies are commonly 'handed out' when you, as a user, login to a Web site where you've registered a username and password. The server finds the cookie information on your computer, checks with its own information, and if they match, retrieves your file. You then have either a personalized version of a portal, or easy access to your online shopping account, for example."
