Cookies usually store technical information, personal preferences, customisation of contents, usage statistics, links to social media, access to user accounts, etc. The purpose of a cookie is to adapt website contents to your profile and needs because, without cookies, the services offered by websites would be significantly undermined.

What kind of information does a cookie store?

The web server does not associate with you as a person but with your web browser. In fact, if you use Internet Explorer regularly and try to surf the same website with Firefox or Chrome you will see that the web does not notice that you are the same person because it associates with the browser, not the person.
