You can buy one variety from Tesco, the other is used by your internet browser.

From Wiki:

In computing, a cookie (also tracking cookie, browser cookie, and HTTP cookie) is a small piece of text stored on a user's computer by a web browser. A cookie consists of one or more name-value pairs containing bits of information such as user preferences, shopping cart contents, the identifier for a server-based session, or other data used by websites.

Personally the ones from Tesco are nicer, especially the chocolate ones!
The other one saves you from entering log-in info every time, so e.g. when you tick the "remember me" box at the Welshot log-in, a cookie is created to remember your log-in information.
