    Not sure if I understand your question, but I think you're asking how to access the cookies saved on your machine, right?

    Assuming that's what you're interested in, and MS Internet Explorer is the browser you used when you received the cookies, here's what the Microsoft Help says: 

       - in MS Internet Explorer, choose
        - Tools
          - Internet Options
            - General
              - Temporary Internet Files - Settings
                - View Files

    [download]
    Hopefully you can find the cookies you are interested in there.

    If you use a different browser, look around in that browsers "Options" or "Settings" and find the location of the cookies.

    HTH.
