Hi Guys,

What about 'permanent' and 'session(temporary)' cookies?

IE 5.x has the option to turn off/on two different kinds of cookies.
The 'permanent' cookies are stored under 'C:\WINDOWS\Cookies' and are still there after you close your browser.

The 'session' cookies are stored under 'C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5' and expire after you close your browser.

How do you specify what kind of cookie to store if a user has both enabled?

Also, don't forget about IE's cookie vulnerability, that allows anyone to read your cookies from another site.

My version of IE was affected.
Check out the following site for info: http://www.peacefire.org/security/iecookies/ or if you just want the patch go to: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/download/critical/patch11.htm
