Cookies are my weakness. My favorites are No-bake, Oatmeal Raisins, Peanut Butter, and Chocolate Chip. I have a terrible time limiting myself on how many to eat at one time.
Unfortunately cookies online aren't yummy and can even be annoying. It is important that you know what they are and how they affect you.

So... Websites you visit collect cookies from your computer about where your computer is, the sites it visits, and the searches it does. If you search for black shoes it is likely ads for black shoes will start showing up on your Facebook feed. The most annoying issue for me is when I've been shopping for necessary unmentionables and Pinterest starts showing me Victoria Secrets ads. There are ways to avoid this annoyance, but it is a frustrating hassle.
