That is a very naive response! Cookies and such transmit tons of information to all kinds of marketers, spam mailers, etc. For example, the new USCL server from the USCF, was unaware that their software vendor had put predator-type software embedded in the program. What this software did, and most do is send the information to other vendors about your site visits, etc, etc. When the USCF became aware of it, it was removed, but you needed to download a utility from lavasoft to remove it completely. It is a real problem and to think that they are "just small files" is very naive!
