    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.
    Thanks

    Just delete the cookie. There is no data to speak of.

    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.
