For example: if you use the BBC Weather site and specify a favourite location, the BBC website will store a cookie on your computer with that preference. In future, everytime you go to their weather site, the cookie will automatically allow it to display the weather for your favourite location. Without the cookie, you would always have to type in your favourite location.
