Where do browsers store cookies?

As such, they're stored directly on your hard drive by your browser. The next time you visit that website, your browser will send saved cookies to the website's server, allowing the server to use the saved information.

Are cookies stored per browser?

Cookies are per-browser, but plugins (such as Flash) have their own storage and can be used to share information between browsers.

Can there be 2 cookies with same name?

If multiple cookies of the same name match a given request URI, one is chosen by the browser. The more specific the path, the higher the precedence. However precedence based on other attributes, including the domain, is unspecified, and may vary between browsers.

In which location cookies are stored on the hard disk?

If you use Internet Explorer to browse the web, you can see all of the cookies that are stored on your machine. The most common place for them to reside is in a directory called c:\windows\cookies.
