Transferring Cookies
 

Does anyone know if/how someone can safely transfer cookies and flash cookies from one computer to another?

It should work. Just copy all the flash cookie and basic cookie files into the same directories on the new computer.

using a flash drive? file attatchment? not sure- i'm really not savvy in this department. Say I wanted to send them to a computer across country. Which method should I use?

Zip it, Rar it, or just drag&drop it. Move it to USB and back out. Put it on CD-RW.

great thank you both- also appreciate the visual - picture books were always my favorite. :nerd:

I forgot to note: The diagram applies, if you use Firefox for browsing. It covers regular cookies, flash cookies, and Firefox user profiles. And lots of other stuff too.

If you use Internet Explorer, Opera, Chrome, or some other browser, I can't promise that your cookies would be stored within the tree I indicated.

You would have to find the location of your 'cookie jar' and make sure you use the proper tree for transfer purposes. Same principle applies, though. Stash the tree, copy to destination (observing location).
