Yeah seriously, it's just data. Why someone had to call it something cute like a cookie was just dumb.
So what would you have them be called? "Reminders" to remind the webserver of some data it had set for you? Something worse to conjure up even more fears? Just plain "files"? :P

The "cute name" thing has been going on since the birth of programming.

Cookies are delicious delicacies.
