How the browser stores its cookies should be irrelevant. Whenever a server  
response contains a Set-Cookie header, the browser saves the cookie. When  
the client issues a request that matches a saved cookie, it adds a Cookie  
header with the cookie. From the server POV, you don't care how the cookie  
is stored.
