It's just a bit of text.
When you visit a website and for example log in, the site you are visiting sends back a HTTP resonse. In the HTTP headers there will be a
Set-Cookie: session=ABC123;lang=en
for example.
From then on, everytime you visit that website, your browser will send a HTTP header in the HTTP request:
Cookie: session=ABC123;lang=en
And the server can use it to identify you (to make sure you stay logged in).
That's all there is to it.
