guys and gals,

do cookies that are invoked act the same way when they come from different languages?

If I set a cookie with PHP, will it automatically throw a txt into the browser's temp folder on my machine with an md5 hash stored in it?

moreover, how does it operate? does it serve as a password encryption that can be looked at from a server side script? how do these thing work on an inner level??

anybody dare to answer? :D

Cookies are secret (the honest sites like to tell us about them, but) very few Web sites from your computer hard drive placed on the files you have visited. Well, most of them gentle enough for a variety of purposes can be used.

A dessert is actually a small textual content computer file that is placed on your difficult drive by a Website. Often you actually ask to have it. For example, any time you tell a shopping site to "remember your address" or your log-in information, it's being saved in a dessert on your difficult drive.
