Sites can use cookies to remember if someone left a menu open or closed, and keep the menu that way on new pages.

You can use cookies to act as a "bread crumbs" trail, so people can see what other pages/products they have looked at.

If you make a multi-lingual site, you can use a cookie to remember what was the last language the user chose, and show all future pages in that language, without them having to change it on every page.
