Cookies provide a useful means in Web applications to store user-specific information. For example, when a user visits your site, you can use cookies to store user preferences or other information. When the user visits your Web site another time, the application can retrieve the information it stored earlier.

This article provides an overview of working with cookies in ASP.NET applications. I will show you the mechanics of working with cookies in ASP.NET, such as writing them and then reading them again later. Along the way, I will explain various features and (occasional) oddities of cookies and the support in ASP.NET for them.
