You are agreeing to allow the site to store data on your computer. Only that specific website can access that data and only when you access the website (the browser enforces this by attaching the cookie to requests only to that specific website). They usually store details like if you are currently logged in, which is why when you access the website on a new computer you have to log in again (since there is no cookie on that computer yet).
