Cookies – Security and Privacy issues

Cookies are NOT viruses. They are just plain text files and cannot execute any command on the computer. They cannot spread to other connected systems. However they can be used as a form of spyware, tracking a user’s site to site browsing history and targeting ad’s accordingly; a good antivirus software will detect those types.
