Are cookies persistent across different browsers?
To elaborate on the question, let's say we have website that looks for an specific cookie on the user machine. If not found, it will create one. Suppose the user quits Chrome and go to the same website on Firefox, will the website locate the same cookie on the user's machine? Or will it create a new one for Firefox?

The influence of cookies is limited to a single browser on a single device. You can't store the same cookie data on multiple devices. Cookies can't be read by multiple browsers. If you want to maintain state across multiple browsers or devices, then you've got to store state data on the server, not on the user's PC.
Persistent Cookies are stored on a user's device to help remember information, settings, preferences, or sign-on credentials that a user has previously saved. This helps create a convenient and faster website experience. These cookies have an expiration date issued to it by the webserver.
Every browser maintains it's own cookies. So in general, no this is not possible.
Cookies are set on a per-user basis only. If they were not, it would have been a major security breach. Therefore, the answer to the question "Can one cookie be shared..." is NO.
No. Cookies are stored in browser-specific files.
