So what is exactly Web cookies? If you look into the many yellow colored folders that sit on your C drive,you'll see the one call windows which carries files for your operating system.Among the folders and files inside Windows, is one called Cookies.Sounds Yummy? But instead of raisins and chocolate chips, the Cookies folder contains dozens, maybe hundreds, of white colored text files that say 'yourusername@website name.txt'.
So you wonder, "Hey, i don't remember saving anything in this folder!" What is this mess and how did it get on my Computer? There's an easy way to find out.Run an anti_virus Scan on your Cookies folder first (Right-Click and then Scan for Viruses). Next, click on the .txt files. When you do, you will see a series of numbers and letters like this: c2_popup_cookie49care2.come/1523986421231879965* These figures are called name-value pairs whose function is to serve  as an identity number for your computer.Every time you go back to website, the server (machine hosting the site) will recognize your visit as a second,third,fourth,ect trip.
