A cookie is a small file stored on a users machine so that it doesn't have to store it in a database
at the website. Otherwise the site would have to keep getting the information everytime the user
used the website. Some people have serious misconceptions about cookies because they don't know
what they are. You cannot store anything other than text in them, its highly unlikely that a virus
will be stored or anything else that is damaging to your computer. The risk is close to zero, I would
say zero but for legal reasons, I'm saying close to zero. A cookie cannot search out
and retrieve a users credit card details, neither can they access an address book. They're harmless,
docile text files. This website uses cookies so that the user doesn't have to log-in every time
they want to change their votes.
