Where are cookies located?
In Windows 2000/XP, there are a several locations that cookies are downloaded to. Each is different depending on which browser you use. Because each user downloads cookies to their own documents in Windows 2000/XP, there will be several locations if there is more than one user on your machine.
Internet Explorer
In Internet Explorer, cookies are stored in the following locations:
%userprofile%\Cookies\
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\
(See my Shortcuts page for more information on directory shortcuts)
They can also sometimes be found in:
C:\sysdir\Temporary Internet Files\
FireFox
In FireFox, cookies are stored in the following location:
%userprofile%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Default User\cookies.txt
Where Default User is a folder designated by random letters followed by .default.
Unlike Internet Explorer, FireFox stores all cookie information within one file called cookies.txt.
Mozilla
In Mozilla, cookies are stored in the following location:
%userprofile%\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profile name\cookies.txt
Like FireFox, Mozilla stores all cookie information within one file called cookies.txt.
Opera 8
In Opera 8 (and possibly older versions too), cookies are stored in the following location:
%userprofile%\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile\cookies.dat
Opera stores all cookie information within one file called cookies.dat.
Netscape Navigator 7
In Netscape Navigator 7 (and possibly older versions too), cookies are stored in the following location:
%userprofile%\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\profile name\cookies.txt
Like FireFox and Mozilla, Netscape stores all cookie information within one file called cookies.txt
