Cookies is only small files that your browser stores some your data for login. It can store userid, username, theme, language, item on shopping, etc. It don't store privacy data. Ex: auto login function is using cookie to auto login when you re-go to your site.

What is cache?
Cache is a place for your browser store temp files in harddisk from your site and other sites to surf faster. Browser downloads all files relate to webpage, stores them into cache and view the webpage. If you surf another pages of one site, your browser will suft faster by it doesn't download same images, videos, flashes, etc. So when you update images, videos, flashes on your site, sometimes your browser doesn't update cache -> your site doesn't view properly.
