The malicious cookie

When I visited some website, I found that a malicious cookie jumped out but
was blocked soon. I could recognized it as a malicious one because the
cookie was from a malicious website which cracked the website not long
before. My quesiton is --Would you like to define the way of hacking using
professional terms? How the could cookie be accessed to the website?

Some cookies are designed to be trackers, and thus defined
as malicious, but I don't see them causing damage to the OS
just reporting on your browsing habits, let get the
straight poop on the use of malicious when referring to
cookies.
If someone cracked the website then they placed some of
their own code on the site, thereby allowing them
to track visitors/browsing habits!

Active X elements can be malicious, installing software
without your knowledge, hijacking your home page, etc
