For one, a cookie is required in order to remember whether or not you pressed “block cookies” last time.

Cookies are also used for security to check whether or not you’ve logged in previously, to bypass 2 factor auth, or to keep you logged in after closing and re-opening the website.

Without cookies, a website can’t remember *anything* about you when you leave it.
