A cookie is a kilobyte or less of plain text data. Any computer that would slow down to any appreciable degree from handling a cookie would take minutes to decompress and display the .JPG images on a web page. Cookies are a standard feature of the HTTP protocol and are used by a vast number of web sites. The biggest negative about cookies is that ad banner sites use them to track user activity, but any good spyware ap will defeat that.
