How can I identify and isolate Persistent cookies?

Hi all:

 

Aside from doing this by process of elimination, how would I be able to easily identify/isolate Persistent cookies?

 

In IE8 for example there is a setting named Preserve Favorites Website Data.

Does anyone know the actual location where that data is stored for this function?

 

Thanks!

Hi donna,       

        There are two types of cookies - persistent and non-persistent. Only persistent cookies are stored in the PC. Non-persistent cookies are stored in RAM and they get removed when the browser window instance is closed. You can find their location by going to nternet Optons->Browsing history->settings->View Files = It will open the location for you.

The non-persistent cookie is actually known as a Session Cookie.

 

Tracking Cookies do persist, as far as I know. NIS can remove them if set correctly.

 

I believe that the Session and Persistent cookies are stored in the same place, (i.e. Documents & Settings in XP) but I just

wish to confirm my above post for IE 8 and IE9 as to the exact Preserve Favorites website data location.

 

Thanks,
