nothing to do with cookies ...cookies are a way of applying your preferences/tracking etc.

An IP address is allocated to you by your ISP and is used to direct\deliver your chosen web page to you and not me. No IP address = No World Wide Web! A firewall is a barrier that stops others "seeing\connecting" to you when you have not requested them to do so. You request a web page be delivered to your computer every time you click a link.
