I always reject them, but mostly because I never really understood what their purpose was.

Is it to track my info and send me a bunch of emails I don’t want? Do websites even need cookies? Why do they use them?

    It’s to identify anonymous people online and track their activities. Eventually you may fill something out and become known and they’ll continue tracking you but as a known entity. Often this is used for marketing, but also for your convenience.
