I am working on a website, it sends the client cookies. I was looking at a cookie in wordpad and this is what I saw: ### visits 12 192.168.1.2/ 1536 794017792 34543298 2933552928 29603507 * myflash yes 192.168.1.2/ 1536 241926144 34467861 2933752928 29603507 * ### visits and myflash are the name of the data. The lines immediatly following (12 and yes) are the data.

It looks to me like the 192.168.1.2 is some sort of an IP adress or something

As far as I know, the developer can store pretty much anything in the cookie. It really depends on what the site needs it for.
For example i created a web site that used a shopping cart to store the items the customer was going to purchase. I also added a bunch of other info in there as well. This was using Java and I stored an Object that contained other objects. When you actually looked at the cookies, you would see stuff like GSBean@870987.
So the other stuff could be just about anything. One is probably some kind of seesion id, the rest is most likely just encrypted data
