MS must do strange things to it (go figure).

With mozilla, your cookies.txt contains all of your cookies, in plain text (well, the values can be text, hex, decimal, boolean, whatever)

The "code" for a cookie is made up by each website. How cookies are stored and retrieved is a W3C standard but the content of the cookie is not.

Site A = 3DQN = 3 days since last visit, quality buyer, never buys soap (French?)
Site B = 3DQN = level 3: dude is quite the nef
