You’re agreeing to let the website put a tiny little text file on your computer (or phone). Websites will then read this little text file to learn stuff about you.

Some will use it to save you time, by “remembering” your login and password which they read from the text file.

Many will read *all* the text files left by different sites you visited. That lets them figure out where you’ve been online, what you like, and what kind of advertising to show you.
