Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit cards or bank details, photos, your ID card or personal information, etc. The data they save are of a technical nature, personal preferences, personalisation of content, etc.

The web server does not associate you as an individual but rather your web browser. In fact, if you normally browse with Internet Explorer and try to browse the same web with Firefox or Chrome you will see that the web does not realize that you are the same person because in fact it is associating with the browser, not the person.
