i accidentally deleted cookies, how do i get it back?

Well, sometimes I delete my temporary internet files for ''reasons''. So today I went into them and they're all gone. I only have 3 temporary internet files in there. I visited some websites, still the same 3. I did a system restore, still the same 3 files. If someone in my family goes into them and sees that there's only 3, they'll find out that I go on ''stuff'' and end up deleting the Temp internet files. Why am I not receiving these files and how can I receive them again?

I am a 75yrs. old lady. Only use the computer for simple things like Picture storing, E-mailing. Ordering on line once in a while and stuff l;ike tat.Do I really need Cookies on my computer ? As I have deleted them sometime ago.
