Cold is one of the six damage types in Diablo II, and one of the four elemental ones.
Cold usually has the lowest damage of all the elements, however, it also freezes monsters upon striking, giving them a blue hue and slowing down their movement and attacks. Super Unique monsters cannot be frozen in this way. A player cannot be frozen, only slowed. If an enemy dies while frozen, it will shatter, leaving no corpse.
The Sorceress has a whole skill tree devoted to cold based attacks, and the Paladin, Druid and Assassin also posses several cold spells.
Unique Monsters who posses the cold enchanted modifier, will do cold damage with each attack, and will give out a frost nova on death, damaging and slowing the player.
