You could tap Allow from Current Website Only, which would mean that only first-party cookies are allowed, rather than third-party cookies from websites you've visited previously. You could also tap Always Allow, which would enable every kind of cookie, even those that don't come from a party whose website you've visited.

Why Do I Need to Enable Cookies on My iPhone
In our increasingly privacy-focused age, cookies are getting a bad rap. Some of this is justified, but this doesn't change the fact that cookies can be useful.
For example, cookies remember your login data for particular websites, so whenever you return to them you remain logged in and don't have to go through the hassle of remembering your password every time you visit. Similarly, cookies remember your settings for specific websites and domains, saving you from having to answer the same irritating pop-up that asks whether you'd like to receive notifications.
For online retail sites, they save what's in your shopping basket, which means that they're all-but-essential if you're a regular online shopper. They are, in other words, a big timesaver, which is why enabling them is advisable.
