They are also used to record login session and to remember important values that you've filled in forms like name, email address, password, credit card number etc.,
It's all because of cookies why you don't need to login again and again. Websites automatically fetch saved data to remember which account you are logged in with. Sometimes, you may want to delete site cookies in your browser for some personal reasons. For example, you don't want to save your username and password even after logging out the account.
