1.  What are cookies?

Cookies are small, harmless strings of text information which are stored on your computer, by your browser, on behalf of an HTTP server, for example a web server. This is a type of authentication mechanism known as a "token".

2.  Are cookies a security risk?

In normal circumstances, no. Bugs can cause unpredictable effects so we cannot speak to what might happen if a bug exists in any particular browser but it would not generally be considered a good thing.
