What information does a cookie store?
Cookies do not generally store sensitive information relating to you, such as credit card or bank details, photos, your ID card number or personal information, etc. The data that they store are of a technical nature, personal preferences, personalization of content, etc.
The web server does not associate them with you as a person but instead with your web browser. Indeed, if you usually use Internet explorer as your browser and you try browsing the web using Firefox or Chrome, you will see that the web does not realize that you are the same person, because it is actually identifying the browser and not the person.
