A cookie is a small file a website stores on your computer so that it can recognise you the next time you come back, in the org's case it notes your login details and that you want to stay logged in, so when your browser comes back to the website the website behaves appropriately... Assuming the org uses cookies to track user details? If not I'm talking a load of cobblers...

If you block or clear them then the website will be unable to remember you...
