Where are my cookies?
With all this talk of cookies wouldn’t it be nice to actually see one?
It’s pretty easy to see the cookies that are set on your machine. If you’d like to see them (and you use Windows XP or 2000 and Internet Explorer) go to C:\documents and settings\YOURNAME\Cookies (where YOURNAME is your login name). They’re stored there as text files and you can open them up by double clicking on them. The information contained inside is usually pretty boring, but really useful for both you and the site that sets them.
If you use Firefox it’s a little easier to see your cookies. From the Tools menu choose “Options”. Pick the “Privacy” icon on the left and expand the cookies section by clicking on the little plus sign. You can see all your cookies, their values and expiration dates by clicking the “View Cookies” button.
