Where are my cookies stored?

Marty999

The official answer from Microsoft is:

Cookies are stored is in a folder named Cookies which is stored inside the Documents and Settings folder. By default, the path is C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\Cookies.

I have looked for this folder but it's not there, and I have made hidden folders visible. I have searched for all *.txt files and I'm not getting much coming back. I have not recently deleted my cookies and I have not knowingly disabled them, in any case websites I visit regularly recognise my details.

Where should I be looking please? I am running XP Home edition.

Assuming you are talking about IE, not firefox, try siw

system directories

internet cookies directory

If you want to view cookies assuming you are using Internet explorer 7 go to...

In Internet explorer 7 go to:Tools>Internet Options

then under 'Browsing history' you will see a button that says 'Settings' click that then click 'View files'

You will see all your internet history as well as cookies.

Cookies will have 'cookie:' at the beginning of them.

Hope this helps
