Thread Name: Tech: Whats a cookie
Subject: RE: Whats a cookie
Roger in Baltimore, cookies are not programs, it is just text!
In Windows NT, Internet Explorer stores the cookies in: <YourWindowsNTDirectory>>\Profiles\<YourUsername>\Cookies as files with name of <YourUsername>@<TheSiteYouVisited>.txt Sometimes there is a number in () or [] added before the .txt
Netscape puts all cookies in one file located at <YourProgamFolder>\Netscape\Users\default\cookies.txt There is one line per cookie there. Which means cookies are browser dependent. As I just tested with a different browser (Opera) I could not access my personal mudcat page without resetting my cookie!
