What Information Does a Cookie Store?

Cookies usually do not store sensitive information about you, such as credit card details, banking information, photographs, your ID, or personal data. The data they store is of a technical nature, personal preferences, content customization, etc.

The web server does not associate you as a person, but rather your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and then try browsing the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you will notice that the website does not recognize you as the same person because it is actually associating the browser, not the individual.
