Cookies just store info. Could be any kind of info, really. Whatever the server decides to store on your PC. Which sounds scary but even though I suppose there's probably the potential to use it for malware, I've never heard of such an attack. The threat is reduced a good deal since your OS will only execute code that has the proper extension and presumably your browser stores it in a way that prevents the OS from doing so.

Most commonly, cookies store login information and such.
