Cookie Explanations

[Gooner]

I know cookies store info on site preferences, and tracking ones track and send data to sites letting them know where you came from, I guess? But maybe it might to an idea for the Cookie guys to post a thred explaining in laymans terms what they do, what do the database ones do? I have heard the flash ones can contain your login information and passowrds for certain sites? Just an idea to maybe help us users realsise the things they get from us if we dont use Cookie. Just a thought
If there already is one, then maybe you could point me to the definitive details. I cant be bothered to fly here and there on the internet, would rather pop in here read it and smile smugly knowing I am protected

Regards
