A cookie is a piece of data sent from a website to store info on your user's browser. Just think of remember email/password option, your browser will remember the information that logged you in  the website. The reason why surveys want you to clear cookies is to remove the data they sent to your computer, so that it could not be track by a third party user/company.

If you want to delete cookies, find free to use cleaner programs such as CCleaner, Glary Utilites, etc. Your browser could also delete history/cookies under it's setting.
