How to read data from a cookie

I have just started to program cookies and when i create one on my cookies folder i can read the user name and password stored in it. But when i open a cookie made by other web sites such as amazon or hotmal, all they show is a string of numbers. Please can someo one tell me how can i read those cookies. Also how can i hide my data in cookie like that.
Thanx

The cookies with a string of numbers are a form of encryption (i.e. they are not clear text), only the originator can read those cookies.
