There are many ways that a cookie crumbles, even if they are Internet cookies.  You may have heard of  computer users who recommend that you turn off cookies in your browser, but there are many websites that rely on these small text values for you to be able to access them correctly.  Here are ways for you to enable cookies on your browser.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are text values composed of name-pairs containing data processed by a website.  Most cookies come from online shopping and auction sites, or websites that promote premium content through subscriptions.  Some websites automatically “drop” cookies into your browser cache when you access them.  Cookies are also used by some sites to track down subscriptions; for shopping sites, cookies may contain the text values that define the contents of your shopping cart.

Cookies themselves are not dangerous, but having too many cookies can put an unnecessary load on your browser cache.  Some cookies may also compromise your computer or network security, especially if you’re using a corporate network connection.  In many cases, though, you have to turn on cookies to maximize the access of Web content.
