Block and delete every single cookie, get an ad blocker, get an antivirus, and delete viruses and other things that can be used to track you.

Question

What happens to the internet if there are no cookies?

Community Answer

The website may take longer to load, and advertisement companies will not have your information to send your better ads. Cookies also save your password, so you don't need to keep entering it every time. Without cookies, things would take much longer to load and do.
