Cookie Contents

this is a paragraph of text

Note how once you store a cookie, since it expires in a year, you can close down the browser, restart a new browser window, and reload this page, and then get the cookie again. Contrast this with the previous example, wherein closing the window deletes all the cookies.

One way to 'eliminate' cookies is to set the expiration date to a date that's before the current date. But beware that the browser isn't required to eliminate the cookies once they've expired - it might wait till a later time (such as when the browser exits).
