in thread VVP: Cookies - what is in them?

The session cookies are only stored in ram, and last untill you shut down the browser window, then they die. The non-session cookies last untill a given date, then they die.

Just a minor note, on some browsers (notably NetScape, and quite possibly (although untested) Gecko based browsers (Galeon/Mozilla/etc)) "non-session" cookies are stored in memory UNTIL the browser is shut down, at which time they will be written to disk.
This is only important to think about when you are testing cookie dumping (and/or contents of cookies) and haven't had the precense of mind to close the browser in between sessions.

Just something to think about,
