Solution

  • Firefox cookies are stored in your profile:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

    as the file cookies.sqlite under one of the profiles.

    More information:

    Chrome cookies are stored in

    %LocalAppData%\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\

    IE cookies are in shell:cookies and shell:cookies/low

    Each browser has a different format for storing cookie data. IE cookie data is stored in randomized text files, and you should only access it using the approved methods, which are the InternetGetCookieEx and IEGetProtectedModeCookie APIs
