While I was reading HTTP RFC information (everyone reads this stuff right?), I came across a section labeled ‘Implementation Limits’. Like most poeple, I don’t think there there is such a thing as too many cookies (assuming you have a glass of milk), but apparently browsers feel differently. According to the RFC documentation on the Set-Cookie header, there is a minimum amount that a browser should set the maximum amount to be. That’s a bit confusing, so I’ll state it differently, according to the documentation, a browser should accept at least 300 cookies total (for all visited sites), at least 20 cookies per hostname, with 4096 bytes of space per cookie.
