Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data which often includes an unique identifier, that
is sent to your browser from a web site you visit, stores as a file on your
computer, identifies you as a unique user and track your web usage.
However, cookies can threat to your privacy as they can store sensitive
information like your name and password on protected login pages,
preferences, account information and choices you have made on the site. So,
even if you clean browser history, cookies like a map will show your surfing
preferences, habits, passwords, etc. Even if the cookies don't contain such
information they clearly show that you visited the sites from which they
came. Also, in one of their malevolent forms, cookies from one web site
might track your visits to a different web site.
You can erase cookies manually or using special history eraser software

Yes, as you saw, FEW web sites store passwords in a cookie, albeit I must
add, POORLY written web sites will do such a stupid thing! And if a person
is visiting such sites they have much bigger problems than a bunch of
deleted cookies containing passwords, and in fact likely deserve what
happens to them !!!

As the article stated, a (properly written) site may use a *unique user
ID*
in the cookie to save having to repeatedly log in. Ebay, Amazon and other
big sites do such things, which is fine, and there is no password
information (at least decrypted) that anyone can use. They use your
successful login then generate a cookie OR a flash .SOL file to UNIQUELY
identify you with an identifier.

The OP said, "you will need to remember ALL (read: ALL) of website
Passwords
Because when you just browse away you see the browse cookies remember your
Passwords for you on the log-in WebPages!" ... which is WRONG!
