Any other interesting tidbits from working in a cookie factory? I'm genuinely curious.

  if you must know, there is a policy to handle cookies. There is also a manager for all the cookies. This manager tracks all the cookie handlers. The cookies themselves are stored in a cookie store. While legend has it Arthur Van Hoff designed this whole setup, if you look closely in java.net, the author of CookiePolicy, CookieHandler, CookieManager and CookieStore is actually Edward Wang. Anyways it is not important. Since one cannot maintain a session without session cookie, effectively the entire human population on the internet works in the cookie factory.
