What's the maximum number of cookies allowed?
Let's test
- Variables
- cookies, with value
- Create me some cookies
- (Could take some time)
- Created cookies
- Now check which cookies are still set
- Remembered cookies
- Now please erase those cookies again
A small list with browsers
- Opera 8.01 on Windows
- remembered 30 cookies
- Firefox 1.0.6 on Windows
- remembered 50 cookies
- Internet Explorer 6 (on Windows ;-)
- remembered 20 cookies
- Safari 2.0
- remembered all cookies(!), tested to a maximum of 1000
- Camino
- remembered 50 cookies
Conclusion
It all quite heavily depends on the size of each cookie. A browser could remember less cookies. Not more though, I think. Test around for yourself :)
